All-Star Battle R/Gyro Zeppeli

"My path to 'understanding' is the ultimate priority!! (「納得」は全てに優先するぜッ！！)"

Gyro Zeppeli (ジャイロ・ツェペリ) was confirmed to return for during the game's initial announcement trailer. He was 1 of 15 playable characters during the 2022 Demo on August 5.

His moveset is fundamentally the same as his from, with a few tweaks being made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay tweaks that All-Star Battle R brought.

As Gyro's voice actor since, reprises his role in All-Star Battle R as well. As with the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Gyro were either added or re-recorded.

Gameplay
Gyro has 900 health and uses the Mounted (スタンド) Battle Style, fighting foes on his horse, Valkyrie. He also uses his Steel Balls combined with Spin, utlizing his Scan (スキャン) Stand ability which he temporarily gains in Steel Ball Run. Additionally, in his Great Heat Attack, he is able to make Ball Breaker manifest. During a fight, he can use several different attacks of his that were featured in Steel Ball Run.

General Changes

 * Skills that use Steel Balls decrease the Spin Gauge less than they did in All-Star Battle.
 * The Spin Gauge naturally depletes significantly slower than it did in All-Star Battle.
 * If Gyro is hit while a Steel Ball is out, the Steel Ball will now no longer hit the opponent when it returns. The only exception to this is the "Scan" skill and only in the circumstance that the returning Steel Ball is one that was spinning across the ground and never hit the opponent when initially thrown.

Dialogue
Outside of, Gyro has unique interaction dialog for both his match entrances and victories when facing certain characters.

All-Star Battle Mode
All missions in starring Gyro as either the Player or Enemy, in order of appearance.

Music
Gyro's theme is GO! GO! ZEPPELI (ＧＯ！　ＧＯ！　ＺＥＰＰＥＬＩ), and can be unlocked in-game by landing a Heart Heat Attack in 's Gyro vs Extra Battle.

Its name is taken to the phrase that is printed on Gyro's teeth, shown in Chapter 1 of Steel Ball Run.
