Daniel J. D'Arby appears alongside his cat when the player is beaten in Story Mode or gets a draw in Versus Mode, as the Game-Over screen. He counts down from 10 until the player falls victim to Osiris or inserts another coin. He will shout "Good! (グッド!, Guddo!)" if the player continues.

Heritage for the Future

Daniel J. D'Arby appears alongside his cat as an announcer for the main menu, he will call out "OPEN(オープン) THE() GAME(ゲーム)" when starting the game and announce whatever Mode is selected.

When beaten in Story Mode or Challenge Mode, and getting a draw in Versus Mode, D'Arby is part of the Game-Over screen, like the previous version of the game.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (PS1)

In the PS1 port of the arcade games, D'Arby appears as a special battle in Super Story Mode. D'Arby is encountered as a boss with three different minigames. The first game is Polnareff's bet against D'Arby on which piece of meat a cat will eat first. As the game is rigged, Polnareff will almost always lose (though in rare cases Polnareff can win and end the stage early.) In the second game, Joseph competes with D'Arby in a coin game; Joseph can cheat to invisibly lower the glass's tipping point, but D'Arby can also do the same. The third game is poker as Jotaro: Jotaro can either win legitimately by forcing D'Arby to run out of coins to bet with, or use the "Bluff" option that appears when they are low on chips to end the fight.

D'Arby's special battle can be unlocked in Book Mode.

The Joestar group travels to Giza, where a gambler named Daniel J. D'Arby challenges Polnareff to see which of two pieces of meat a cat will eat first. Polnareff guesses incorrectly, and D'Arby takes his soul with his Stand Osiris, incidentally revealing that the cat is his. In order to save Polnareff, Joseph bets his soul on a game involving dropping coins in a glass of water; whoever drops the coin that makes it spill loses. D'Arby cheats at the game and drops more coins than the glass should handle, causing Joseph to mentally surrender and forfeit his soul. Fed up with D'Arby's antics, Jotaro challenges the gambler to his favorite game, poker. Should the player choose to bluff, Jotaro chooses not to look at his cards before betting Avdol's soul, as well as his mother's. D'Arby, unable to know if Star Platinum looked at or swapped his cards, goes insane under the pressure and folds, putting him out of commission.
Secret Factor: I'd have been horrified if I knew. (もし知っていたらゾッとしたぜ)

Win either the cat or coin mini-game, or win the poker mini-game by bluffing.
