Story Mode
Vanilla Ice is DIO's most fervent follower, and after being resurrected by his hands, commits to eviscerating the Joestar Group. Vanilla Ice is typically the penultimate boss for most of the roster. This version of the character has a simpler moveset and deals far more damage.
In Super Story Mode on the PS1 version, Vanilla Ice is the 29th Stage and the battle mirrors the manga.
EndingICED: Excuse me... Please pardon my intrusion, Master. As you may have noticed, I've exterminated Joestar's party.
DIO: Excellent, Iced. I knew I could count on you.
ICED: I'm glad that I could fulfill your expectations.
Affected by the blood of DIO, Iced has become a vampire, loyal to DIO forever.(暗黒空間の軌跡 Ankoku Kūkan no Kiseki)
With both Avdol's flames and Iggy's nose on their side, Avdol is certain that nothing can sneak up on the group. Just then, a Stand appears behind Avdol out of thin air. Avdol pushes Polnareff and Iggy out of the Stand's way, but immediately vanishes. The Stand's user, Vanilla Ice, declares Avdol dead, as he has disappeared into his Stand Cream's void. Though Polnareff refuses to believe Avdol's death, Vanilla Ice declares his intent to scatter the entire group's atoms inside his void. After the fight, a weakened Polnareff sacrifices himself for a severely-wounded Iggy, only for the dog to use the last of his energy to save him instead. Polnareff stabs Vanilla Ice to death, but he immediately recovers; realizing his enemy is a vampire, Polnareff slices open a wall, exposing him to sunlight and disintegrating him. After briefly seeing Avdol and Iggy's souls ascending, Polnareff resolves to move deeper into the mansion toward DIO.

Boss Form
Vanilla Ice's Boss Form is the unplayable version of the character encountered in Story Mode, with a different moveset and sprite-work. This boss uses a simpler moveset, with increased damage on his specials.
In Heritage for the Future, he can be fought when you reach the second to last opponent in Challenge Mode.
When characters other than the Joestar Group fight him (such as fellow villains), the spiraling grooves from his attacks are not present on the stage.

Gameplay
This version of Vanilla Ice is significantly stronger and uses a simpler moveset.
Vanilla Ice primarily attacks using Cream to travel the screen in a few directions vertically and diagonally, these attacks track the player’s position and must be evaded in-time.
This boss has two supers. In the first one, Cream begins to circle around the stage and close in on the center. In the second super, Cream will move erratically on whichever side of the screen the player is on. These supers are unblockable and deal heavy damage.
This form of the character has a few quirks, he can’t crouch, he has the longest reaching dash and only a few normals. Almost none of it carries over to the playable version.
