I hosted a stage contest once where someone submitted a really good stage of the Sand Kingdom from Mario Odyssey.
Another contestant who had submitted a stage for the Cap Kingdom before that responded to that submission with something along the lines of "Real Talk. Let's just have a stage for every kingdom."
And while not exactly a great idea for an actual Smash Bros game to do, on Paper the idea does sound appealing. Not just for Mario Odyssey either. Super Mario. Bros 3, Super Mario 64, and Super Mario Sunshine are also Mario platformers that are good choices for this "make every level a stage" idea.
Mario's not the only series like that either. Half of the Zelda games starting with Ocarina of Time have entire dungeon line-ups that would make for great Smash stages.
Sonic is a very good example as well. I can think of a whopping 19 games that fit this bill.
And don't even get me started on Mega Man.
