The update, titled ''Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage For The Future'' in Japan and just ''Jojo's Bizarre Adventure'' everywhere else, added more characters to the roster, made the formerly unplayable sub-boss Vanilla Ice playable, as well as adding 4 more hidden characters to the 2 that were already there, making for a nicely sized cast of 22 (Although 1 character remains unplayable.)

** The Stone Mask appears briefly when a Stand Crash occurs or when Shadow DIO connects his WRYYYYYYYY super.
** Rubber Soul has two taunts that occur at random, one of which is his "Rero rero rero rero" taunt against Jotaro. Letting the CPU do this taunt even gives you a Secret Factor bonus in the PSX port.

* AgentPeacock: For no reason whatsoever, Capcom gave Kakyoin some of the most...FABULOUS idle poses which can change when he taunts or attacks.

Geil's Hanged Man Stand attack the opponent in some of his specials. Hol Horse and Boingo on the other hand, its just Hol Horse doing the hard work. Boingo is visible but does little to help Hol Horse in battle.

The game plays like a typical fighting game with three buttons for attacking and the player can make their character dodge by pressing all three attack buttons.

More notably is the integration of the series' famous "Stand" ability. Each character has a "Stand" that can be summoned or activated at the touch of a button to assist them in battle and augment their abilities. Of course, characters with an "active" Stand have to watch out for their Stand Gauge, which depletes when they're hit and if emptied, will cause a Stand Crash, which will leave them vulnerable. And they still take damage if their Stand takes a hit.

Characters can also perform "Tandem" attacks with a quarter-circle-backwards Stand button input that either allows them to perform a custom a combo with their stand while they also attack from the other side, or functions similar to ''StreetFighterAlpha'''s custom combo feature.

Most notable of all is the integration of the manga's story into the game. The game is based off of Part 3, "Stardust Crusaders", the most popular chapter of the manga (Apart from a few references to other parts of the manga) and as a result, features not just intro and ending scenes for each playable character, but pre-battle and post-battle cutscenes as well.

As its a Capcom game, of course, different versions were made, though thankfully this game only received one update. The first version of the game, simply titled "Jojo's Venture" featured 16 characters, with 13 playable (Dio being semi-hidden), 2 hidden characters and 3 unplayable bosses (Vanilla Ice, N'Dour and Death 13).

The update, titled ''Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage For The Future'' in Japan and just ''Jojo's Bizarre Adventure'' everywhere else, added more characters to the roster, made the formerly unplayable sub-boss Vanilla Ice playable, as well as adding 4 more hidden characters to the 2 that were already there, making for a nicely sized casted of 22 (Although 1 character remains unplayable.)

The game received console ports, each with their own merits. The Playstation port had downgraded graphics due to memory constraints and seemed to be based more off of JJV in terms of interface and movesets but had the additional JJBA characters as well as a unique "Super Story Mode" that adapted the entirety of Part 3. The Dreamcast version was arcade perfect to the point it had both JJV and JJBA on the same disc, but lacked a Super Story Mode.

In the summer of 2012, a "HD" rerelease came out on PlayStation3 and Xbox360 for their respective download services. The game's existence had been leaked beforehand though to skeptical reception and was eventually officially announced at the 2012 SanDiegoComicCon. The new release features leaderboards and achievements as well as new graphical filters.

!Tropes associated with this game include:
* AgentPeacock: For no reason whatsoever, Capcom gave Kakyoin some of the most...FABULOUS idle poses which can change when he taunts or attacks.
* AssistCharacter: One can make the case that most "active" Stands count as this. The biggest example of this played straight though is normal Hol Horse, who has J. Geil's Hanged Man Stand attack the opponent in some of his specials. Hol Horse and Boingo on the other hand, its just Hol Horse doing the hard work. Boingo is visible but does little to help Hol Horse in battle.
* AttractMode: JJV had a fairly nice long intro featuring the heroes and DIO. JJBA excised this (Though the HD rerelease brings it back) but features two short intros featuring either Hol Horse or Vanilla Ice.
* AwesomeButImpractical: Dio's Road Roller Da super may look crazy epic and is his most famous move...but its also very much telegraphed and thus easy to deal with.
** The same also goes for Jotaro, Dio and Shadow Dio's Time Stop supers. They require a lot of energy to get the most out of and they have a huge windup time and complicated button inputs but done right, they can help you deal incredible damage.
* {{Badass}}: There's a lot of them.
** BadassGrandpa: Old Joseph
** BadassLongcoat: Jotaro's coat...which is actually his school jacket. Yes, he makes a SCHOOL UNIFORM look absolutely epic.
** BadassNormal: Compared to the other characters, Young Joseph for his lack of Stand (He uses the Hamon instead.)
** BadassBack: DIO and Shadow DIO's backwards walk animation is a casual walk backwards with his back to his enemy.
** BadassAdorable: Iggy looks pretty cute here. And he's also pretty top tier. Petshop as well.
* BigNo: Young Joseph's KO cry
* BigOMG: Old Joseph's KO cry, his famous "OH MY GOD!"
* BloodKnight: Anyone becomes this when wielding Anubis, but Chaka takes it even further in his arcade story, where he and Anubis decide instead to take on Dio. And they ''win''. subverted for Khan's ending where Anubis wisely decides not to try to kill Dio.
* BonusBoss: Death 13 can only be fought by the heroes if the player has avoided losing and has gained a lot of super finishes.
* Bowdlerize: The US version of the game (When the "Regulation" option is on in the arcade version or if the "Expressions" option is set to "mild" in the HD version) censors most of the violence, recolouring the blood and other elements.
** A dead Speedwagon Foundation pilot was removed from the backgorund of N'Dour's bonus stage since said pilot gets his hand violently cut off.
** One weird alteration: Chaka's sword is recoloured brown in the censored version. Khan's and Black Polnareff's Anubis swords remain unchanged though.
** Black Polnareff on the other hand did get one alteration: the censored version recolours the blood pouring from his wounds to a brownish colour. Otherwise they're usually vibrant red.
** When Dio dies in most JJV endings, he flies off screen in the censored version. In the uncensored version? He ''explodes violently.''
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Black Polnareff is our French friend Polnareff possessed by the Anubis Stand.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Mariah does this in her ending, directly addressing the player.
** Rubber Soul also does this, talking about how lucky he is and then asking the "bonehead" player if they agree.
** Devo as well, in his ending where he threatens to curse the player next time.
** And Black Polnareff, who decides the last person to be hacked to pieces...
-->'''Black Polnareff:''' (jumping at the camera) ...YOU!!!
* CallingYourAttacks: For the most part only played straight in various super moves such as Kakyoin's "EMERALD SPLASH!", Avdol's "Crossfire! HURRICANE SPECIAL!" and Di's infamous "ZA WARUDO!" and "ROAD RORURA DA!"
* TheCameo: Daniel J. D'Arby appears on the continue screen and JJBA's mode select screen. If the player doesn't continue, his Stand Osiris takes their soul and turns them into a poker chip. If they do continue (Or if the player selects an option in JJBA) he shouts "[[CatchPhrase GOOD!]]"
* CameraAbuse: Hol Horse weaponizes this in one of his supers where he shots the camera three times, and if the opponent is caught in one of the cacks, they're pinned to the ground and stabbed by Hanged Man. Hol Horse also shoots the camera in one of his winposes anyway just to be a dick, and Hanged Man crawls up said camera to glare at the player.
* CounterAttack: Chaka, Khan and Black Polnareff have one of these as specials. Furthermore if they successfully connect, they "learn" the move that they countered so if the opponent uses that move on them again and its blocked, they will flash white and the player can press a button to instantly attack back. Chaka has a super where he can automatically learn ALL of his oppoennts moves at once!
** Rubber Soul also has one.
* DeathCryEcho: If the opponent is KOed on the final round, their death cry WILL echo (It won't if its not the last round.) Amongst the funniest however is Young Joseph's "[[BigNo OOOOOH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!]]" and Rubber Soul's almost yodel-esque death cry.
* DoomedByCanon: Averted with Avdol, Iggy and Kakyoin who can all survive their original points of death and kill Dio! Sadly, Kakyoin still dies from his wounds in his ending and New Kakyoin's ending plays this straight.
* DualWielding: In the case of Black Polnareff, he's wielding both his own Stand Silver Chariot AND the Anubis sword Stand.
* DubNameChange: The English version of the game does this thanks to Araki's habit of dancing close to the copyright fires by naming characters after musicians and bands. Some names have a letter changed or removed, others are spelled mostly differently. Averted by Dio, who's named was shortened to DIO in all regions and media anyhow to change his name''s tribute to RonnieJamesDio's band.
** [[IggyPop Iggy]] = Iggi
** [[{{Devo}} Devo]] = D'bo
** [[YossouNDour N'Dour]] = N'Dool
** [[TheBeatles Rubber Soul]] = Robber Soul
** [[JGeilsBand J. Geil]] = J. Gale
** [[OingoBoingo Boingo]] = Voing
** [[MariahCarey Mariah]] = Mahrahia
** [[ChakaKhan Chaka]] = Chaca
** Khan = Kan
** [[AlessiBrothers Alessi]] = Alessy
** VanillaIce = Iced (Which carried over to the OVA's English dub, which was done some years later after the game's release though the OVA was made in 1993)
*** The PSX port did the same for the Super Story mode characters resulting in...
** [[ZZTop ZZ]] = Zi Zi
** [[Music/{{Enya}} Enya Geil]] = N-Yah Gale
** SteelyDan = S-Terry Dan
** [[FatsDomino Arabia Fats]] = A[[SpellMyNameWithAnS l]]abia Fats

** [[Music/KennyG Kenny G]] = Ken-E-Gee
* DummiedOut: [[http://tcrf.net/Jojo%27s_Venture Many, many different things]] [[http://tcrf.net/Jojo%27s_Bizarre_Adventure were found in the code of both versions]], but most notable of all are assets for N'Dour that suggest he was originally meant to be a playable character, as he has life-bar portraits that react to hitting or getting hit, as well as an alternate player 2 colour, a VS screen/super move cut in image and a "New Challenger!" cut in. Others include sprites for Enya Geil, Cameo and his Judgment Stand and Gray Fly/Tower of Gray, suggesting they were either going to be playable or as minigame bosses (Which they were in the PSX version)
* EasterEgg: Normally, Young Joseph's taunt is his "Happy, joy-py, nice to meetcha-py!" line he said against Santana in Part 2. When up against Jotaro, Polnareff, Avdol or Kakyoin, however, he instead does his signature "Your next words will be..." line and imitates their catchphrase. (Jotaro - "Yare yare daze.", Avdol - "Tch tch tch!", Polnareff - "Buta ge te yaru!" and for Kakyoin, "Rero rero.")
** The Stone Mask briefly shows up when a Stand Crash occurs or when Shadow DIO connects his "WRYYYYY!" super.
** Everyone has a unique transformation when struck by Alessi's Stand moves. Most are turned into kids but others transform outright.
* EasyImpersonation: Subverted with Rubber Soul, who doesn't look or act much like Kakyoin at all. Even more so in the PSX's Super Story Mode cutscene where he randomly punches Jotaro and claims he's joking.
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Khan doesn't have an "active" Stand so pressing the Stand button with him makes him do a SpinAttack a'la Link. Holding it too long though makes him lose his balance.
* ExcusePlot: Young Joseph's JJBA plot. Alessi made you young again. Have fun pounding the other heroes til you kick Alessi's arse.
* EyeBeams: Dio and Shadow Dio's Space Ripper Stingy Eyes. They have huge startup but are unblockable and do good damage.
* GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: Jotaro does this to the player on JJV's title screen. He, Kakyoin and Chaka are also fond of doing this in gameplay.
* GratuitousEnglish: Rubber Soul shouts out "DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!" if his opponent accidentally triggers his Stand counter special. and of course, Dio's "ZA WARUDO!/THE WORLD!"
* HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: New Kakyoin's ending is worse than normal Kakyoin's in this regard. You beat Dio, he stops time and kills Kakyoin in half a second just like in the manga.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Used by Alessi in his ending where he turns the whole world into helpless kids.
-->'''Alessi:''' Children don't need money! That means all the money in the world will be mine! It makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
* MultipleEndings: It is a fighting game so everyone has an ending (Young Joseph and Shadow Dio didn't in JJV) but Avdol and Mariah have two different endings depending on what option the player picked, reminiscent of [[StreetFighterII Chun-Li]] and [[VideoGame/MarvelSuperHeroes Thanos']] endings...although only problems is, you have to choose between one tarot card from 2 face down cards.
** For Avdol, if he draws The World, its implied Dio somehow came BackFromTheDead, whereas if he draws The Magician, he decides to reopen his shop.
** For Mariah, whatever card the player gets determines [[BreakingTheFourthWall what Mariah thinks of the player.]] If they draw The World, she tells them the're not as good as Dio is, but if they draw Bast, she wonders if they really are more attractive than him.
* MythologyGag: Most notably, Young Joseph is one big MythologyGag for Part 2, in a game based off of Part 3.
** His Hamon Crossbow special is the same weapon he used when fighting Wham. The H version of the move where he fires it backward and the ball whrils around the arena, hitting the opponent from behind, is the same trick he used against Wham.
** His Haon Cola special is the same move he used to punish a racist New York cop at the stat of Part 2.
** He uses the Red Stone of Aja in his Hamon Beam super to amplify his Hamon abilit and fire a really powerful, unblockable beam.
** His "Master's Teachings" super flashes an image of Caesar Zeppeli if the first punch hits, complete with Joseph screaming "CAEEEEEEESAAAAAAAAR!!" and the rest of the super shows images from their training and other Part 2 moments.
** Oddly, Polnareff has a super in JJBA onward where a Stand Arrow from Part 4 flies in, hits Silver Chariot, causing it to turn into its Requiem form from ''Part 5'' and put the opponent to sleep. A Part 3 game with a super move that references to Parts 4 and 5. At least Polnareff's not in a wheelchair or a turtle this time.
** The attract mode sequence also flashes manga panels from parts 1 and 2.
** One of Dio and Shadow Dio's special moves is Space Ripper Stingy Eyes, the same EyeBeams he used to fatally wound Jonathan at the end of Part 1 (And used by Straights in Part 2)
** When hit by Alessi's Stand, Old Joseph becomes Young Joseph. When [[UpToEleven Young Joseph]] is hit, he gets even younger and is reading a Superman comic, just how he was in a flashback in Part 2.
** Nena (One of Dio's Stand assassins) cameos in one of Hol Horse's intros where he dismounts an elephant and bids her farewell. ("Jada, aishiteru ze."([[labelnote:"Later. I love ya."]][[/labelnote]]))
** Old Joseph says his signature "Your next words will be..." to Dio in his ending. And Dio walks right into it.
* OhCrap: KOing anyone with a super move results in a manga cut-in of their bloody and shocked face. Said cut-ins also appear in certain supers. Surprisingly even Midler and Mariah have fairly bloody super death cut-ins.
* OneSteveLimit: Subverted with Joseph Joestar having two playable versions, one young and one old. To avoid confusion, the game labels Young Joseph "Jojo"
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Whilst Dio was this in the early parts of Part 3 and didn't start fighting until his head was better integrated with Jonathan Joestar's body, Shadow Dio, which was Dio in early Part 3, averts this in his JJBA arcade story where he actively fights the Joestar group himself.
* PaletteSwap: Rubber Soul is a yellow recolour of Kakyoin (fitting enough.) however, he's also slightly taller and has a slightly different face and animation set.
* SayMyName: Both Josephs do this in their "Master's Teachings" super. Old Joseph says "Lisa-Lisa..." his teacher and mother from Part 2. Young Joseph, on the other hand, screams out "CAAAEEEEEEEEEEESAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!" as in Caesar Zeppeli.
** Every hero character (And Devo) shouts out "DIO!" as their special intro against him.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Who else but Jotaro and Dio!
* SeanConneryIsAboutToShootyou: Hol Horse shoots some holes in some manga panels and then points his gun right at you in JJBA's first AttractMode movie.
* SingleStrokeBattle: Chaka and Black Polnareff's Dimension Slash super. It even cuts the background in two!
* {{Stripperiffic}}: So what did Araki have in mind for Midler when Capcom asked him to draw a whole new look for her? A near naked belly dancer with star pasties being the only thing covering her chest.
* TimeStandsStill: Jotaro, Dio and Shadow Dio.
* UpdatedRerelease: JJBA is this to JJV.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: One of Rubber Soul's super moves is his Coconut Backbreaker (Which he used on a pickpocket in the manga) where he lifts his opponent up and gets them in the Torture Rack.
