In reply to a recent trope removal:
Since Baron and Mathilda both remember and know Jack (and the game is BASED on it), I don't see how it has nothing to do with Mad World, Big Bull is FROM Mad World as confirmed by the creators. Shouldn't he and Jack's relationship be important to note as it is with Baron and Mathilda in the past especially since it states why Big Bull is the way he is now?

Not necessarily. I haven't played the game, but it's relation to Mad World seems ambiguous at best. Those who have played it might be more sure concerning this status.
But picture this: what if this game is an alternate continuity to Mad World, and Jack, Baron and Mathilda all met in a different way, offscreen? If you assume that's the case, then there's no reason to take Mad World into consideration for... well, anything.
That's just the thing, it references things from the original game all the time, even a few times right from the start of the Black Side. It IS an alternate continuity just by principle that it isn't called Mad World 2, but it was made to be somewhat of a sequel to Mad World and Big Bull is a part of the relationships within its Mad World cast. What they came from, he came from. And still, it provides a quick explanation on why he's in this huge green mechanical suit yet his brain is still functional.
This is set in the Mad World universe mind you.

Does the Gargoyle need to be so heavily spoiler-tagged? The game outright says that it's unlockable if you go to the Model Viewer, even if you haven't unlocked it.
