Several Mr. Mads were encountered by [[Sir Dan]] while he was in town. This included one in the pond area and inside the town library, and two in the Troll's Head pub: One down in the basement, and the other barricaded by barrels in the main room where the [[Rune Stones|Earth Rune]] was found.

Mr. Mad is a heavyset man who wields a large axe and runs very fast. He will run towards [[Dan]] in an attempt to strike him with the axe. As with the rest of the possessed townspeople, Mr. Mad must not be harmed, as killing him will drain the [[Chalice of Souls]] of its power.

Besides avoiding him, using [[the Daring Dash]] is the only way to temporarily stun Mr. Mad without harming him.

Mr. Mad appeared in many pre-release versions of ''MediEvil'', including the ''[[MediEvil Rolling Demo]]'' and the ''[[MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha]]''. In these versions, he could be encountered outside of the interiors more commonly than in the final game. Killing him did not penalise the player in any way, instead awarding the player with 175 [[points]].
