  • Dummied Out: For the most part. Morten was meant to play a larger role in the game, and was even supposed to have his own level to himself, where he would help Dan unlock the door to the Asylum by going through the keyhole and getting the key from inside. In the final product, he only appears in a single cutscene.
  • In Memoriam: The 2019 remake is dedicated to Paul Darrow, the voice of Zarok in the original game (and reprised through archive footage in the remake) and Resurrection, who had died in June of that year.
  • The Other Darrin: The male narrator from the original game was recast with Lani Minella for the 2019 remake.
  • Role Reprise: While most of the audio from the original game was reused for the 2019 remake, Jason Wilson recorded new dialogue for Sir Dan.
  • Urban Legend of Zelda: Stephane Cornicard never provided the voice of Sir Dan in the first MediEvil, series creator Jason Wilson did. Cornicard did however voice him in Playstation All Stars Battle Royale, possibly because of this rumor.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • The game was going to have more of an arcade-style of gameplay similar to Ghosts 'n Goblins but as development progressed Jason Wilson pushed the game to a more Zelda role-playing game.
    • There was supposed to be a level where the purple worm inside Sir Dan's empty eyesocket would have been playable.
    • Another cut level was a mirror-based The Halls of Illusion, which would have had Evil Knockoff versions of the main character as enemies.
    • Pools of the Ancient Dead was supposed to have a boss called The Swamp Guardian.
    • The game was planned to be multiplatform, with a PC and Sega Saturn release planned, but when Sony was shown a demonstration of the game, they signed it up to be an exclusive.
  • Working Title: Dead Man Dan.
