Why did Sony go with Super Smash Bros. too instead of Super Mario Bros. too?

That doesn't make it any better though.

But it makes your original statement invalid. They haven't done a major 2D platformer as far as I know.

All jokes and PR aside, LBP is still a 2D platformer, being able to switch planes doesn't magically make it a new genre.
