This is a sub-page of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Arcade).

This needs some investigation. |
By setting the region to start with 0x3 (e.g: 0x32) in an emulator such as Fightcade, you can access the game's location test. In this location test, the story mode for every character is limited to 6 stages, and they all share one ending. Considering the glitched sprite, this was, most likely, a leftover from JoJo's Venture, and was never meant to be used.
Ending#
After you complete a character's story mode in the location test, they are greeted by a glitched sprite that is meant to be Enya, who tells them a few sentences written in Japanese. After that, the game displays a Coming Soon screen, and you are then sent to the game over screen like normal. This only seems to happen in Japanese versions of the game, as the other regions immediately go to the Coming Soon screen.
Enya:
...You're finally here. I was getting tired of waiting.
Unfortunately, this is just a location test, so I can't let you go any further.
Go on, then. Do it!

The Coming Soon screen actually changes significantly depending on your region. For international releases, the game is still referred to as JoJo's Venture, with the game's logo being displayed with text to go with it. However, the Japanese version of this screen is way more interesting. The game still refers to this game as the first game (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in Japan), which is expected, but the screen uses an alternate version of the To Be Continued image. This is the only time this image ever appears in the game outside of the developer menu. Also, for some reason, the Japanese version of the screen's background is just a really dark grey, whereas the International version of the screen's background is black.
