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.{{Siteref|MediEvil-Boards|12898|MediEvil developers - Q&A;|June 24, 2013|author=Chris Sorrell|quote=Another good question.

Uncle Mad is a stationary enemy who can either hit [[Sir Dan]] with a club, or throw glass bottles at him. He cannot seemingly switch between the two weapons; each Uncle Mad encountered will either fight with a club or bottles. In the ''MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha'', Uncle Mad's club attacks only slightly chip away at Dan's health, but being hit by a glass bottle will cost Dan a whole [[lives|life]]. Killing Uncle Mad awards Dan with 175 [[points]].{{Gameref|Rolling-Demo}} | Uncle Mad is a stationary enemy who can either hit [[Sir Dan]] with a club, or throw glass bottles at him.
