How To Get A Stand In Your Bizarre Adventure

Your Bizarre Adventure is an "RPG-styled game" made with Roblox and initially released in early 2019. An unofficial adaptation of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, its story mode and setting is primarily based on JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, though it features characters and elements from every other part ^note as well as the Licensed Game JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven as well. Most notably, it boasts 38 Stands (taken from parts 3 through 7) that can be obtained, as well as five different fighting styles that can boost the player character's abilities even further.

The game features three modes:

The main game, a rough adaptation of Golden Wind. The player character finds themselves getting involved with the goings-on of the Passione gang in Naples, Italy after helping Boungiorno Brovanna. While the group has many enemies, the player can even up the score with the help of their Stand, acquired from one of the many mysterious Arrows scattered throughout the map. This mode is set in a single expansive map that boasts several NPCs to interact with (many with relevant sidequests), enemies to battle, and items to collect – not all of which originate from Golden Wind.
Metal Ball Run, modeled on the race that gives Steel Ball Run its title. 16 players compete in a lengthy horse race, facing a variety of challenges (ranging from their horse's limited stamina to the difficult terrain to the other players) along the way. There are both Casual and Competitive versions of this mode – the former bars players with certain evolved Stands from participating, but the latter offers better rewards for winning.
The Colosseum, where players can fight each other in an arena. Both one-on-one and two-on-two fights are supported.

NOTE: The game refers to every character and Stand by a slightly different name than in JoJo itself, owing to concerns about copyright infringement. This page uses the replacement names, with notes clarifying the original monikers as necessary.

This game contains examples of:

Absurdly Spacious Sewer: The sewers below Naples have a very high ceiling and host several underground creatures (including zombies, vampires, and Kars).
Adaptational Context Change: Played for Laughs. In Golden Wind, Giorno refers to his ambitions in life by declaring that "I, Giorno Giovanna, have a dream." In the opening of this game, Boungiorno repeats the line when the player character talks to him... only for him to explain that his "dream" is simply to evade the security guards standing around the area.
Battle Aura: Players with active Stands almost always have a colored aura surrounding them. Certain non-humanoid Stands instead have the aura surrounding part of the Stand itself (such as Ms. Vice President's key).
Blocking Stops All Damage: You take no damage from attacks while blocking. Depending on the duration of an attack and the intensity of the player's Regenerating Health, it's possible to heal damage while doing so.
Bonus Boss: There are several bosses in the main game that do not need to be fought in order to clear the storyline. Several of them simply stand in the main map and can be challenged at any time (though doing so until the player has leveled up enough is not advised).
- DEO waits in the mountains, using The World against players who try to beat him and complete Dopey's ^note Doppio side quest in the process.
- Joe (a young Jotaro Kujo) can be found outside the Naples train station. Fighting him is necessary to finish a side quest from DEO (who stands nearby).
- Joe Kujoe (an older Jotaro Kujo) stands in the ocean near the Colosseum in the main map. He puts up a particularly strong fight, boasting an evolved form of his original Stand and having a hefty amount of HP, but he sometimes drops an item necessary to get one of the game's most powerful Stands.
- Heaven Ascension DEO is the climax of Joe's own side quest, only achievable after gathering every part of the Saint's Corpse. Defeating the boss and his extraordinarily powerful Stand will rarely reward you with an item crucial to upgrading one of two Stands available to the player – either turning The Universe into The Universe Over Heaven (a copy of the boss's Stand) or G-Moon into The Way to Heaven (along with Joe's Disc).
Bowdlerise: The Stand "Sex Pistols" was renamed "Six Pistols" to abide by Roblox's content guidelines (which prohibit discussions of sexual activity in any form). ^note While every Stand was later renamed for copyright-related reasons, this one was changed well beforehand.
Bribing Your Way to Victory: Some of the game passes (only purchasable with Robux, which in turn must be acquired with real money) offer advantages to the player, ranging from extra Stand or style storage to notifications whenever items drop.
Cash Gate: Midway through the story, the player character is tasked with collecting $5,000 to pass off as Passione's fortune. It's ultimately downplayed, since the player never actually gives the money to them – by the time they acquire it, Trisha informs them of another problem that's cropped up and sends them to deal with that instead.
Compressed Adaptation: The story quests retell the bare basics of part 5's plot, with many characters and elements stripped out. For instance, after the player defeats Bruce Brunorati, he mentions that he's started to work together with Boungiorno, with his original motivation for doing so (learning that they both despise the drug trade) being ignored entirely.
Edible Collectible: The Halloween 2021 quest tasks players with collecting pieces of candy for rewards, either by finding them on the map or by winning certain modes.
Fake Longevity: The game lacks any sort of fast travel system, meaning that players often have to trek between NPCs to progress the story. One particularly glaring example comes when Trisha asks the player to defeat a boss who's located near the train station a ways away from her. After finishing this task, you must then walk all the way back to her... upon which she directs you towards another boss who's located within the same train station, necessitating even more backtracking.
Interface Screw: Several Stand attacks obfuscate the victim's vision in some fashion.
- Getting hit by Platinum Sun's ^note Star Platinum Star Finger results in the screen momentarily blurring heavily, leaving the player unable to see much of anything.
- Downplayed with Ice Album's ^note White Album Gently Weeps, which causes the screen to turn blue but doesn't hinder the player's sight in any significant way.
Holiday Mode: The .885 update (released in mid-October 2021) gives the story mode's map a Halloween-themed makeover, turning all the foliage an autumnal brown and placing decorations ^note like pumpkins and skeletons in certain areas. It also added a limited-time quest where players can obtain candy and trade them into a newly-added Headless Horseman NPC for rewards (either regular items or special Halloween cosmetics).
It's Up to You: The story mode entrusts the player with many of the protagonists' responsibilities, ranging from distracting their rivals with a fake fortune to single-handedly defeating assassins. While the others are suggested to be doing things off-screen (for instance, the entire gang apparently tried to fight Pancake Fog and ended up receiving a Curb-Stomp Battle), they never do so while the player is watching.
Mass Monster Slaughter Sidequest:
- The very first story quest has Boungiorno task you with killing five security guards.
- Dracula's side quest involves killing three of his zombie henchmen (who have started lashing out against him).
Mythology Gag:
New Game+: When a character hits the level cap, they can Prestige and reset their levels and skill points, allowing them to play through the main story again while retaining their Stand and fighting style. This can be done up to three times, with the cap increasing each time. Furthermore, certain modes are locked behind certain Prestige levels (the Colosseum opens at Prestige 1, while the Metal Ball Run requires Prestige 2).
Player Versus Player:
- The Colosseum mode is dedicated to having players fight each other, either one-on-one or in pairs.
- The Metal Ball Run pits several players against each other in a horse race, allowing them to attach one another. The "Battle Zone" near the end of the course temporarily shifts the mode's priorities: instead of merely racing, the players are required to fight to the death to progress. The final stretch only opens up when no more than 7 people are left standing.
Random Drop: Certain Bonus Bosses have a small chance of dropping an item crucial to completing at least one side quest.
- Joe Kujoe ^note Jotaro, as depicted in Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure Stone Ocean will rarely drop a Disc after defeating him.
- Heaven Ascension DEO has a 16% chance of dropping his Bone upon death.
Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: Most humanoid Stands share a "barrage" ability, which causes them to rapidly punch opponents for a period of time.
Regenerating Health: The player's health regenerates slightly over time. This can be upgraded through the Tech Tree, while posing substantially increases its potency as long as the player keeps it up.
Shout-Out:
Skill Point Reset:
- The Rokakaka Fruit resets your character's Stand, fighting style, and skill points (the latter of which are refunded instead of being completely eradicated). There's also a much rarer "pure" variant that only affects the skill tree.
- Paying one NPC $5,000 and three diamonds will reset the player's fighting style.
Sliding Scale of Gameplay and Story Integration: The game goes all over the spectrum at different times.
- Separation: Most storyline NPCs are only meant to be interacted with one time each, leading to several duplicates of characters like Boungiorno and Bruce being scattered around the map (each representing a different stage in the plot). This causes one glaring inconsistency near the end, where Bruce reveals that Lion Abbacho has died... while Lion is standing on the same walkway as him.
- Integration: Since Hamon is extremely effective against the undead, any attempt to become a vampiric Hamon user will fail. Characters trained in Hamon will burst into flame and die upon trying to become a vampire, while Jonathan Joemama will refuse to train vampiric players in the specialty and instead kill them on the spot.
Tech Tree: Upon leveling up, the player is given points that can be allocated in one of three different skill trees: one for the character's basic stats, one for their Stand, and one for their fighting style. The former consists entirely of upgrades, while the latter two alternate between upgrades to existing abilities and unlocking new ones. In any case, many of them must be unlocked in a specific order, though there are often separate branches for different upgrades. (Stand skill trees are sometimes given thematically-appropriate shapes; Grey Rapier's ^note Silver Chariot resembles the sword it uses in combat, for example.)
Video Game Dashing: All players are able to dash a short distance in any direction, even backwards.
Warm-Up Boss: Leaky Eye Luka is the first major boss the player fights in the story mode. He has no Stand, which significantly limits his moveset and makes him fairly easy to fight – in fact, he's not much more powerful than the guards at the very beginning of the game.
Wake-Up Call Boss: Pancake Fog ^note Pannacotta Fugo marks the point where the main story's bosses stop pulling punches. His Stand power creates massive poison clouds that damage you over time, and he has a habit of barraging you afterwards to keep you trapped in there. Defeating him requires a significant amount of agility and knowledge of the game's dash mechanic.
Writing Around Trademarks: Some time after the game's original release, copyright concerns led to every character and Stand being renamed. Several of them are extremely similar to the original (for instance, Star Platinum and The World become "Platinum Sun" and "The Universe"), while others are deliberately ridiculous (for example, Pesci becomes "Pepsi", Pannacotta Fugo becomes "Pancake Fog", and the Joestar family becomes the "Joemama" family).
