I only watched 30 minutes but I just gotta say I disagree with his main point here. The level be design in Odyssey is among the best in any 3D game.

1. Sure Cloud Kingdom and Ruined kingdom are tiny with little content but they're the boss levels. The fact that they have any content at all besides the boss is, itself, a huge deal. When you defeated Bowser in one of the boss stages in 64, there was no reason to ever go back there ever again. Hell, even if you put an extra star in there, there wasn't anything to do either as the bowser levels were linear as hell. They were almost the challenge rooms in odyssey except odyssey has more of them and each of which needing different movement tricks to get through them.
2. In terms of the segmenting of the levels, Odyssey is far better about this than any previous game as well. If you selected a star in Galaxy, you had to get that star. Things you needed to get the other stars simply didn't exist in most cases unless you exited and went back in.
3. Furthermore you have got to have a pretty bad memory to think the levels are the same size as 64. Even a small stage like Lost Kingdom is far larger than Bob-omb Battlefield.
4. You can spin the cap without motion controls. Just needs a 360 input like a spinning pile driver.
