A brief foreword ---
Hello, fellow Jotaro or Dio wannabes ....
Welcome to the much awaited game of 1999, JOJO's Bizarre
Adventure has truly made a mark in the arcades and now has
come home for the Playstation .... I must say that it's one
title that's worth the wait !
I'm no Jojo fan mind you, but my co-writer is. He waited for
ages for the home version, and meanwhile still beating the crap
out of the Arcade version at the local aracades .... I only watched
the OVA version of Jojo which was based on the 3rd season of the comic.
I admit that while the comic's artwork really stinks like hell, the
OVA version is ten if not fifty times better !
I really must say that the Arcade fighter should have been drawn the
way the OVA was drawn, for those who say the OVA, you know how different
Dio was in the comic verus the OVA ! Another thing is, there was much
taken out of the comic in the OVA version ... but at least the game
was smart enough to follow the comic version ...
I think I had enough of typing my foreword ... let's get down to
business !!! OHLA !
The SP STORY option is based clearly on the comic version of Jojo's
Bizarre adventure. For fans, you'll now play those moments of wild
conflicts and great battles as all of Jotaro's ally !
NOTE :
PLEASE ATTEMPT ALL THE GAMES YOURSELF BEFORE E-MAILING QUESITONS,
AS MOST OF THESE GAMES ARE SIMPLE ENOUGH TO GO PAST !
---------THE SP STORY MODE------------------------------------------------
This mode is a mode where you are playing as any possible ally to Jotaro
Kudo, the main lead of the whole comic series.
Note that as I'm not a complete Jojo fan, I only know the place and
roughly what happens there, but I can't really give you the acutal
insight into the situation. Maybe on another update, but for now
I just want to tide players over the Story mode !

coming Jotaro. The amount left to fight off is located at the right
edge of the screen.
There are basically 3 types of zombies to fight off :

hit really low or they will bite you fast !

The team encounter porblems when a stand enters Joseph's body and
wreck havoc ! Kakyoin and Polnareff enters into Joseph's body to
try to rid the microscopic stand known as the LOVERS.
OPPONENT : STEELY DAN - LOVERS
Type of situation : Shooter
Level of diffculty : Hard
*Your main control here is Kakyoin's stand. Polnareff is working as
your attacker and human shield. REMEMBER THIS POINT !
*As Kakyoin, you will shoot Emerald blast and Polnareff will charge over
and do multi-slashes. To shoot Emerald blast, press and hold Heavy Punch.
To slash, press the Stand button. These are the only 2 things you MUST
get in your head when playing.
*Kakyoin is the one in charge of the health bar here. Polnareff has unlimited
health so use him to block everything that shoots to you ! Don't let Kakyoin
get hurt here !
*To use Polnareff, you'll just press Stand button, and if you move your
controller, he will also attack that particular direction and stay locked
facing that direction. I advice to always keep him IN FRONT and press
Stand button WITHOUT MOVING ANY DIRECTION AT ALL. He can be a quite a
bane at times when you make mistake.
*Kakyoin can improve his blast attacks by collecting powerups. Every time
he gets hit, he loses a power level. His maximium is 4 level points.
Polnareff is always at level 2 and cannot improve.
*When fighting Steely Dan's 1st form, just shoot and avoid all possible hits
fired from his pincers. Duck fast and keep firing and sending Polnareff at
him only when he's facing you face to face in front.
*His first form will turn red when it has suffered a lot of damage.
*His second form is really the tough one, as it is protected by two tube like
veins. Blast and slash any of the two, but once one disappears, duck high or
low as the tube will appear above or below you. It will swing around and cause
much damage.
*Once the veins disappears and Steely dan is left unprotected by the veins, send
Polnareff charing in and slash ! He can inflict much more damage than just shooting
from Kakyoin ! It will later recover it's vein and you'll have to blast one
vein down again.
*This second form of Steely Dan can take hell lot of damage so be calm and tackle
it in a cool manner. It might take more than 10 tries so please have plenty of
time to play this part !
14th stage - Abu Dhabi, Afghanistan
Desert
The team is in the desert and somebody's turing up the heat on them !
OPPONENT : ARABIAN FATS - SUN
Type of situation : Hunt for the image
Level of diffculty : Hard
*The main window is your view. You have a crosshair to shoot at
any object. Use the heavy punch button to shoot.
*The mirror image is at the right side of the screen, and look at
what you see inside. The image is acutally from the main window
but it is inverted. Look for the non-inverted version in the
main window and shoot the location.
*It is very easy to lose here if you shoot the wrong spot. Your life
bar is above the main window. The timer is on your right corner screen.
*For Comic fans, the key here is not to fire at the sun, this is not
as easy as the comic edition !
15th stage - ?????

The team finds an abandoned child and takes a rest. However, they
seemingly end up in a dreamworld with a stand, which acutally belongs

These are all fight related matches. As for the storywise, I need
some updating here.

3rd type of gamble :
Poker
Darby vs Jotaro
Level of diffculty : Hard
*For those who do not gamble at all (Like me), this is a part where you
need to either understand the rules or you know how to play poker.
*Darby cheats and there is a little possibility that you'll
win against him.
*There is a number of rounds to survive against him, you will must play
until there is a conversation between Jotaro and Darby. This is more
of a survival card game than to win against Darby.

Dio vs Kakyoin
Cario city, rooftops

a mystery about the maze, it's a stand !
OPPONENT : KENNY G - TENORE SAX
Type of situation : Seek and kill
Level of diffculty : Hard
*Like the earlier minigame, you are supposed to hunt for Kenny G. The same rules
more or less appiles, except that Kenny G is moving around the stage. Use the
mirror at the right to judge where he could be and hit that location.
*Acutally, if you wait long enough, Kenny G will appear for a brief moment and
vanish, so hit him fast. Don't try waiting as timing is really short !
Dio's castle
The party arrives in some sort of a hallway. Avadol cast a spell to locate
any nearby Stands, but finds none. However, a strange Warp hole appears
near him and he pushes Polnareff to safety ... only to be swiped away by the
strange warp itself.... leaving a pair of hands on the floor.
The warp unfolds itself to be Vanilla Ice, Dio's most powerful right hand man.
He is questioned by Polnareff where he sent Avadol to, but the answer was
simply to his death. (Avadol is out of the team)
OPPONENT : VANILLA ICE - CREAM
Vanilla Ice vs Polnareff
Type of situation : 1 on 1 battle

Polnareff sees the spirit of Avadol float away to the heavens and Polnareff
swore he will make Dio pay for his partners' death.

Jotaro. Just as he tries to land a fatal blow onto Jotaro, Polnareff appears to
stop Dio and (Unlike the comic and cartoon, he just stabbed Dio's head)
the two will fight.
Polnareff will tell Jotaro that both Iggy and Avadol had passed on and this
enrages Jotaro.
The last fight :- The final

The final clash as Dio manages to suck Joseph's blood to enhance himself. Jotaro
arrives too late to stop this, and knows that he will have to kill Dio to settle
the score.
