I think Odyssey has a couple of stages that fucked up a bit like the Snow Kingdom but I'm also of the opinion that some locations do need to be a big wide and empty to give off their athmosphere properly. Like a desolate desert isn't gonna feel very desolate if it's too packed.

Bowser's Fury was good too but that's, like, "a bunch of SM64-sized stages separated by water" instead of a wide vast open world.
