    Uncle Mad was a member of the Mad family set to appear in The Sleeping Village in MediEvil. He does appear in the MediEvil Rolling Demo and MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha, where he can be encountered exclusively inside town buildings.

    When asked, Chris Sorrell, the game's producer, did not remember the exact reason for Uncle Mad's removal. However, he suggested that the enemy's uninteresting nature or his drunk appearance not passing quality assurance testing were the likely reasons.[1]

    Characteristics

    Appearance

    Uncle Mad was a bald, skinny man with big ears and a drunk look on his face. He wore blue dungarees and red shoes. He could generally be found in a squatting position.

    Gameplay

    Uncle Mad is a stationary enemy who can either hit Dan with a club or throw glass bottles at him. Killing Uncle Mad awards the player with 175 points.[2]
