In terms of game music, Overworld themes are often orchestral in nature, and of greater length and complexity than other pieces in the same game, due to the amount of time spent traveling the Overworld map.
Such an example is the Tallon Overworld from Metroid Prime, in which the player's ship lands, and also is the place where the game eventually ends; it does not connect all areas of the game however, and relatively little time is spent there.

 "A13G-02" in fm06
Observations in different seasons and latitudes are used to identify and evaluate the different pathways by which convection influences water vapor and its isotopes, including convection above the 380 K surface in the tropics, subtropics, and midlatitudes.
The water isotope observations show that water vapor in the overworld stratosphere in the tropics and mid-latitudes is isotopically heavy, an unambiguous signature of large scale convective influence on stratospheric water to near- tropopause altitudes.
Discontinuities between the water isotope abundances in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) and the overworld stratosphere suggest that local processes do not control the abundance of stratospheric water above the western tropical pacific.

 OverWorld - Game Design Wiki
Problem: We'd like to have a nonlinear connection between our scenarios or levels, but it doesn't fit with our narrative to have the scenarios/levels be contiguous, so we can't use ContinuousWorld.
Solution: Have another game mode, which is travelling in the overworld; the overworld has hot-spots where you can enter into a higher-detail game mode, the scenario or level.
Clever scenarios can unlock more of the overworld; doors on both sides of a mountain range could be connected, for example.
