Inspiration
The Super Story Mode allows you to play through a game version of Volumes 13 to 28 of the original manga series.
Version differences
There are two main differences between the PlayStation and Dreamcast versions of the game.
The PlayStation version contains a "Super Story Mode" which lets you play through the story of the manga using various characters. The Dreamcast version states on the back cover that the same mode is available, yet it's not.
The Dreamcast version contains both Jojo arcade games (
Jojo's Venture and
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure), and you can choose to play either one.
Jojo's Venture has less characters than
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure has a special Challenge mode that lets you unlock playable characters when you complete it with certain characters. The Playstation version of the game is a mixture of both arcade games.
