Playing through Iggy's (spelled "Iggi" in the US version) Story mode in the Japanese version of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future on Dreamcast, on the default 4/8 difficulty! And then I explore Challenge mode a bit with Avdol!

Was really wishing Iggy had a regular double-jump rather than his low-ish altitude glide for crossing the desert... ;_;

Looking up stuff on the JoJo's Bizarre Wiki...

That humanoid Stand figure who comes out with down+HP when Iggy isn't in Stand mode is apparently Shadow Dio--one of the unlockable characters you have to unlock by beating Challenge mode with certain characters. : P

The blond sub-boss with the big red ball special/super attacks is the vampire Vanilla Ice. In the comics, his fight vs the JoJo crew turned very deadly; the various Story modes in the game let you change the fates of the characters.

The guy animating the water in the desert is N'Dool (that's the official US spelling; a wiki transliterates it as "N'Doul"). Here's an...interesting animated version of an encounter between N'Dool, Iggy, and Jotaro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkZULOC3-N8

Iggy's favorite treat, according to Avdol, is coffee-flavored chewing gum; that's what you see him trying to tempt Iggy with at the beginning, where he finds him in the streets of New York, and later in the desert, trying to get him off Polnareff's face.

That Viz comic preview showing the JoJo gang's first encounter with Iggy, re-created at the beginning of his Story mode here in the game, is https://www.viz.com/read/manga/jojos-bizarre-adventure-part-3-stardust-crusaders-volume-6/product/5407

Turns out playing through Story modes DOESN'T unlock the other six characters (only two of which are entirely different rather than altered versions of the starting characters: there's Khan, and-- Oh wait, the other one, Rubber Soul, is a sprite swap of Kakyoin. So really Khan would be the main one to unlock, which means beating Challenge mode with Black Polnareff...who is himself a sprite swap for Polnareff. ; D (Oh! Although actually if you beat Challenge mode with Dio, you unlock both the "Hol Horse and Boingo" and Young Joseph sprite swaps.) (And apparently Khan is regarded as one of the weakest characters in the game. 'p')

GameFAQs says you can cheese Challenge mode a bit by having a second controller plugged in: if you're about to lose in Challenge mode, press Start on the second controller to start a local VS match, win it with your 1P, then apparently you're right back to Challenge mode with your health restored in some way or something? Or maybe just the match restarts from where your health was? Probably that I suppose. Bleh. : P Well I'll have to test it, if it gives you more health then it's cheesy enough that I'd bother using it. ^ D^ Otherwise, working on Challenge mode will give me something to do for a while! Your "Level" continues to build as you play more and more Challenge mode runs in a row--but I'm not sure if that actually makes you more powerful, or if it's just pushing you up the Ranking table.

Your difficulty Option setting doesn't matter for Challenge mode, as in most fighting game Survival-style modes. : P

The layout of Alessi's smoky chamber in Luxor is very similar to Devo's hotel room in Singapore.
