It’s possible that “Ridicule Root” was an early name for Dubious Depths, in a similar vein to how Palmtree Panic was once “Salad Plain”. They even both have a sort of relation to vegetation, with how they were both almost completely untouched by Eggman.

Dubious Depths 100% seems like the Sonic CD equivalent to Marble Zone. Most of the Zones in Sonic CD are clearly different interpretations of Sonic 1's levels (Palmtree Panic being Green Hill, Collision Chaos being Spring Yard, etc.), and Marble Zone was the only one that didn't get a CD interpretation.

Sonic CD was supposed to be an enhanced port of StH 2 From a quote on Wikipedia: “Sonic CD was conceived as an enhanced port of Sonic 2 for the Sega CD. At this point, it was codenamed Super Sonic[12] and would feature additional levels, a fully orchestrated soundtrack, sprite-scaling effects, and animated cutscenes.[12][13] Meager sales of Sonic 2 in Japan and the team having its own vision resulted in the reworking of the port.” Edit: so it’s very possible that R2 could’ve been inspired by Aquatic Ruins instead which in its own holds similarities to marble zone- at least design wise in some areas Edit 2: another thing I realized- is that there was a dessert level planned for CD, which there was also one planned for Sonic 2 aka dusty hill and dessert dazzle

Judging by the name Dubious Depths, the "dungeon" like theme, being originally located between the first and second zone of the game and concept art showing the zone transitioning to an underground area, it makes me think R2 was going to be the Sonic CD equivalent of Marble Zone. If according to Naoto Oshima the zone "didn't match Sonic's speed" then maybe R2 was just as slow-paced as Marble Zone? Given that Sonic CD's level themes are mostly taken from Sonic 1, i just find it strange that Marble was the only one not to have its level theme being reused, so maybe that's what R2 was going to be?

Ridicule Root is on par with Genocide City in terms of how bonkers of a name it is for a Sonic level

this is so surreal bro i never thought we would get more r2 stuff

It's honestly so cool that we can just go on Twitter and ask former/current devs about what into making such a great game.

I just want to say: Master Dreamcaster is one of the coolest names I ever heard!

Ridicule Root or something similar could actually be true based on the dense forest concept art.

that explains why the little planet track slaps

Dubious definitely sounds like the most 90’s video game level ever known to man. So I’m gonna say that this info is accurate.

Sure, such a scrapped Zone could add a lot of depth to the lore, but apparently our leads are dubious at best.

So close and yet the search continues on after 30 years. All that's left is the past theme and a prototype build that has it, which we know at least one has to exist since they had to test the level to determine it wasn't up to quality. December 1992 - May 1993 is a wide gap in development for a game like Sonic CD.

I know for a fact someone will try to make the most accurate recreation of this stage soon

recall that the r2 section of the ending animation is actually littered with roots, adding some slight credibility to mazin's claim.

It would honestly have been funny if they kept Ridicule Root because of the two Rs Ridicule Root R R 2 Rs R2 XD

given the cut credits video bit, dubious depths would likely have been somewhat similar to marble zone and would have possibly had collapsing sections of ground, hence the name. it makes some sense why it was scrapped as they realized that it was much slower than it should have been, especially compared to sonic 2.

I read the TV Tropes page for Sonic CD yesterday and learned this information. Didn't say _when_ this information came out, so initially I was confused why this is only now getting an update.

Stuff like this just makes me wonder how many other games have had ideas completely scrapped that never see the light of day. Like the only proof they existed is a little text string or something. Also, beta versions of games.

i called it letter and number

Always interesting to discover some new things about Sonic ^^

I hope we can find the sonic 1 prototype soon but it’s highly unlikely but I hope

you know what i LOVE Sonic CD Cuz of Dubious Depths Zone!💙🦔 i wish this Zone was Made in the Final Game :(

Hopefully more info comes out for dubious depths

i was hoping it was R2 omg. and little planet’s theme was always one of my fav sonic tracks so to see that level supposed have that song makes me wish we got it.

I’m so happy we finally got the real name! I seriously want to see more of this zone 😭

everything just for a videogame's lost level name, awesome

Dubious depths is a way better name than ridicule root… but relic ruin is better than all of them so i wish that was it

One step closer to getting an indev version of the level!

Hello. Have a good day. That's a great video. And thank you for mentioning me (I am MasterDreamcaster on Sonic Retro forums).

If sonic origins plus is true they got to add this as a extra secret remake
