JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Super Nintendo (SNES)Role-Playing Game

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a Japan-exclusive Super Famicom role-playing game developed by Winkysoft and published by Bandai. It adapts Stardust Crusaders, following Jotaro Kujo and his allies as they travel from Japan toward Egypt to confront DIO and save Holly Kujo. Exploration uses a top-down perspective, while battles are turn-based and built around commands, party members, and supernatural Stand abilities. The game retells major scenes from the manga but also uses original encounters and RPG progression to connect them. Its release gave JoJo fans a console adventure with a more traditional role-playing structure than the series' later fighting games. International exposure was limited because it remained a Japanese release, but it is notable as one of the earliest JoJo console adaptations.
