JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (PS1 Game)

Note: Information about characters in this version is limited, so pages are primarily based on their appearance in Heritage for the Future.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険, JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken) is a PlayStation game developed by Capcom based on the third part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Stardust Crusaders. The game serves as a port of JoJo's Venture with elements taken from the game's revision, Heritage for the Future.

The game combines Capcom's trademark anime-inspired graphics, as seen in the Darkstalkers series, with the colorful characters and events of Hirohiko Araki's creation, resulting in a highly stylized and detailed visual style. It features many of the gameplay mechanics seen on previous Capcom fighting games, such as the use of power gauges for super moves, as well as a brand-new Stand Mode: a character's Stand can be summoned or dismissed at will by the player, resulting in variations in the character's move list and abilities.

The most significant addition present in the PlayStation port is Super Story Mode, an overarching campaign mode that incorporates battles, mini-games, and quick-time event stages to adapt every fight in Stardust Crusaders. Other additions include the new characters and storylines from Heritage for the Future, a Training Mode where the player can practice strategies, and two extra modes that provide bonus content as the player gains points in Super Story Mode.

Gameplay

The basic gameplay mechanics are those of a standard fighting game: one-on-one battles consisting of a series of rounds, in which the goal is to deplete the adversary's Vitality Gauge using regular attacks and character-specific special and super moves. Special and super moves require the input of button combinations and/or accumulated energy, which is displayed in a Super Combo Gauge that increases every time damage is dealt or taken.

The game uses a simplified four-button control scheme, consisting of three attack buttons (light, medium, and heavy) and a Stand button, which switches the character's Stand Mode on or off. Pressing all three attack buttons triggers a invulnerable forward dodge; pressing the three buttons while blocking pushes the opponent back a set distance. Depending on which button is used to select a character, a different color palette will be used for that character.

Stand Mode

Fighting with Stand Mode on enhances a character's offensive and defensive abilities; these improvements heavily depend on the character and Stand, but the most common benefits are double jumping, absorbing residual damage when blocking special attacks, and more powerful special moves.

Stands themselves are physical extensions of their users, and thus damage and attack effects inflicted upon one carries over to its user. Like avatar/puppet-based characters in other fighting games, Stands are able to act independently of their users, allowing for several offensive gimmicks.

Most of the game's unique mechanics derive from the introduced Stand Mode. Many special moves and attacks send a combatant's Stand away from its user, making it more difficult to protect both at the same time; each character's orientation is based on their position towards their opponent, and not necessarily the opponent's Stand. If a character is damaged while their Stand is far away, the damage received is doubled. On top of the Vitality Gauge and Super Combo Gauge, there is a third gauge, the Stand Gauge, which decreases when a character's Stand is damaged and refills when Stand Mode is switched off. If this gauge is depleted, a Stand Crash occurs, leaving the character paralyzed and open to attack for a moment.

Another feature of Stands is Tandem Attack, which can be executed once a character has one stock of the Super Combo Gauge to expend. During the extended startup flash, inputs can be provided for the character's Stand; the Stand will then perform these button inputs on their own as a Program Attack, leaving the user free to do as they please and attack simultaneously. Controlling the Stand directly by performing a special move will cancel the Stand's predetermined onslaught early, however. Weapon Stand users such as Chaka and Joseph Joestar, who are unable to separate their Stand from themselves, can instead perform a Real Time Attack, in which most of their moves can be chained into one another until the stock is emptied.

The mechanics of each Stand create strong differences between the game's characters, and force different offensive approaches for each one. This "character-dependent gameplay" style would inspire several subsequent fighting games, such as the latter entries of the Guilty Gear series (which, interestingly enough, also contains several rock and pop music references).

Clashing

If certain attacks of the same strength and intensity occur at the same time and collide, clashing occurs. This only happens with characters with an Active Stand. It is hard to see this system in action as it happens very infrequently. This mechanic would later be incorporated into future JoJo games, such as All-Star Battle.

In some cases, when two certain opposing special moves are performed at the very same time, a Blazing Fists Match can occur. When this happens, both combatants are prompted to rapidly tap the attack buttons to win the duel and decide who will receive damage, a feature first seen in Samurai Shodown. This feature has since been adopted and expanded in All-Star Battle.

Changes from Arcade Versions

Graphical difference between the PlayStation and arcade versions.

Every character from JoJo's Venture and Heritage for the Future is included in the game. While most of the game's characters are unlocked from the start, four of Heritage's secret characters must be unlocked by gaining points in Super Story Mode. The names of Young Joseph (若ジョセフ) and Shadow DIO (影DIO) were changed to Proud Lineage Joseph (誇り高き血統ジョセフ) and Evil Incarnate DIO (邪悪の化身ディオ!!) respectively. The balance and mechanics of this port are primarily based on JoJo's Venture, and a lot of the changes introduced in Heritage for the Future are missing: for example, several supers and specials, such as DIO's Bloody Summoning or Jotaro's Blazing Strike follow-ups, are not present in this version of the game. The additional alternate color palettes introduced in Heritage are also absent in this port, though each new character from Heritage retains one alternate palette to match Venture's cast.

The menu systems have been mostly redesigned, though this port still uses Venture's in-game HUD, albeit with a new font. Sound effects throughout the game have been added or changed, and the startup animations for super moves and Tandem Attacks have been altered. The Super Combo Gauge now resets to one stock after every round, unlike in Venture where it would keep energy between rounds. A save system has been added, and an in-game Option Mode allows you to adjust several game settings. Due to the limitations of the hardware, several sprites and visual effects have been downgraded, most noticeably sprites used for various characters' Stands. Animated stage elements have been removed, the camera no longer zooms out to accommodate combatants' movements, and the cutscenes depicting character storylines in Arcade Mode have been cut down to each character's opening and ending, albeit with an exclusive Japanese dub.

Game Modes

The PlayStation version of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure contains the following game modes:

Super Story ModeArcade ModeVS ModeTraining ModeGallery ModeBook Mode
Super Story Mode
Super Story Mode (スーパーストーリーモード, Sūpā Sutōrī Mōdo)
Super Story Mode serves as a greatly expanded Story Mode aiming to adapt the entirety of Stardust Crusaders through a variety of battles and mini-games. Super Story Mode has 35 primary stages, as well as four secret stages that are unlocked after beating Super Story Mode once. The player's performance is graded at the end of each stage, and earning enough points unlocks special bonuses in the game's Gallery Mode and Book Mode.
Arcade Mode
Arcade Mode (アーケードモード, ̄Akēdo Mōdo)
Arcade Mode functions in much the same way as the Story Mode in JoJo's Venture and Heritage for the Future. The player plays through the story of a selected character, including a unique set of fights and special intro and ending cutscenes. The player's score at the end of the game is saved to a leaderboard that can be seen by leaving the game idle on the title screen.
VS Mode
VS Mode (バーサスモード, Bāsasu Mōdo)
Two players duke it out in direct combat. This mode remains largely unchanged from its variants in other versions of the game, though the PlayStation version features a simpler character select screen and the ability to select a stage.
Training Mode
Training Mode (トレーニングモード, Torēningu Mōdo)
This mode allows the player to practice character attacks, skills, and combos using various battle settings. The computer opponent's behavior can be set to various settings. The player can also choose to display attack data, combo data, and damage.
Book Mode
Book Mode (ボインゴブックモード, Boingo Bukku Mōdo)

Book Mode, presented in the style of Boingo's Tohth, allows the player to relive various events and special battles from the main game. The mode is split into several sub-modes:

  • Ending: The player can rewatch each character's Arcade Mode ending after clearing the mode with them.
  • Mini Game: The player can replay the various mini-games featured in Super Story Mode.
  • VS CPU: The player can fight the special bosses featured in Super Story Mode with any of the protagonists.
  • Tarot Cards: In much the same way as Avdol, this mode attempts to predict the player's strengths and future via the use of Tarot Cards. The player may draw one tarot card at a time, and the resulting divination varies based on the card selected.
  • Sound & Voice Test: The player can listen to the game's music and voice lines.

Super Story Mode

Stages in Super Story Mode can take one of three forms: a VS Mode stage, which uses the traditional gameplay of JoJo's Venture; a Mini-Game stage, which can come in a variety of forms; or an Adventure stage, essentially a dialogue-based cutscene where the player must occasionally dodge an incoming obstacle. After the stage, the player will be graded on their performance: fifteen points each can be earned from remaining time and health, ten can be earned from a variety of special bonuses, and the remaining ten is earned by completing the stage's Secret Factor objective. Each category is saved individually, so the player does not need to gain all of a stage's points at once. After the player beats Super Story Mode once, four extra stages are unlocked, adapting various characters' encounters with Evil Incarnate DIO.

Censorship

All releases of the game went through censorship for some of the presentation and explicit content to accommodate younger, foreign audiences. This also applies to the game's Japanese version, unlike the arcade releases.

BloodExplicit ContentOther

All instances of blood in the game are removed, with the exception of Nukesaku's coffin scene and the "Massacre!" graffiti in the "In A Air Plane" stage. In international versions, the aforementioned "Massacre!" graffiti is also removed entirely, but Nukesaku's scene is unaltered.

There are a small number of other mild changes, such as DIO's drink being recolored. In addition, the green fade at the end of Devo's cutscenes and during Midler's ending in Story Mode is instead tinted a less harsh shade of red, matching the Sega Dreamcast and HD Ver. ports in hue but not intensity.

Pocket JoJo (ジョジョポケット, JoJo Poketto, lit. "JoJo Pocket"), or JOJO POKE (JO(ジョ)JO(ジョ)POKE(ポケ)) for short, is a game for the Sony PocketStation, a memory card peripheral for the PlayStation. The device was only released in Japan in 1999, as a response to the Sega Dreamcast's VMU peripherals. The PocketStation requires physical connection to a PlayStation's memory card slot to utilize its storage functionality, but it is also capable of running standalone software; this software was typically included as bonus content on the discs of compatible PS1 games. By connecting the PocketStation to the Japanese PlayStation version of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, the player can download Pocket JoJo to the portable system. Pocket JoJo features six mini-games themed after Stardust Crusaders, and has its own unlockables in the form of character portraits.[3] Due to the device never releasing overseas, all PocketStation functionality was removed from versions of the game released outside Japan.

Gameplay Modes

The eight gameplay modes in Pocket JoJo.
  1. Independent Arm (インディーズアーム): The player controls Hierophant Green's arm and moves around a playing field, avoiding walls and collecting gems. Collecting the gems in the numbered order shown before gameplay greatly increases the player's score. The gameplay itself bears a resemblance to Snake.
  2. Flip Over the Tarot! (タロットをめくれッ!): A memorization game that involves the player flipping over tarot cards in the correct order.
  3. Speed! (スピード!): The player must align the reticle with the moving arrow and press the large button at the right time in order to catch Lovers with Star Platinum.
  4. Find the Coffee Flavor! (コーヒー味をさがせッ!): A Shell game variant where the player must watch three moving pieces of flavored gum and select the correct one afterward.
  5. Oh... Bravo!! (おお…ブラボー!!): A game that requires the player to stab falling coins with Silver Chariot in time to the background music. Four difficulty options are available, with each having its own music and coin pattern.
  6. Run, Joseph! (走れッ! ジョセフ): A vertically scrolling game where the player, as Joseph, must run and jump over obstacles in one of four stages.
  7. Adventure Mode (冒険モード): A game that encompasses the other six mini-games. Players progress forward on a "Travel Trail" map from Japan to Cairo in real-time. Occasionally, characters will halt the player's progress and challenge them to a mini-game; completing the challenge will unlock their character portrait, while failing it will reset the player's progress on the map. Each time Adventure Mode is cleared, a hidden character in the PS1 game is unlocked and can be accessed by linking the PocketStation to the main game.[4]
  8. Travel Tracks (旅の軌跡): A gallery mode in which the player can view their unlocked character portraits and clear rewards.

Trivia

Concept art of unused characters
  • GioGio's Bizarre Adventure, another JoJo game developed by Capcom, takes heavy inspiration from this port. GioGio's Bizarre Adventure features its own Super Story Mode and Gallery Mode, along with a similar scoring system (GioGio Points stand in for JoJo Ability Points). Additionally, an orchestral rendition of Polnareff's theme is the background music for Chapter 11-1, and some cutscenes use a rearranged version of the villain intro theme.
  • The underlying mechanics of All-Star Battle are based on the Capcom fighting games. In addition, All-Star Battle has two DLC costumes for Jotaro and Polnareff based on promotional material for JoJo's Venture.[5]
  • The travel maps featured in Super Story Mode and Arcade Mode contain errors, mostly anachronistic oversights due to Stardust Crusaders being set in the 1980s:
  • Iggy's Sand Storm super move is a reference to the Shun Goku Satsu move used by Akuma in the Street Fighter series. This is further evidenced in the debug modes of JoJo's Venture and Heritage for the Future, where an unused graphic shows the kanji for the word dog () stylized in a similar manner to Akuma's kanji for heaven ().
