JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R/Stages
.png)
.png)
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R features a total of 17 stages, spanning across several key locations from various parts from the series. At the start of every round, each player will be positioned at the edges of the chosen stage, and are allowed to move before the round begins.
Every stage in the game has 18 sides (meaning they all have the same size). However, these sides are not equally distributed for all stages, leading to some having slightly different shapes. Because of this, stages do not feature corners in the traditional sense, unlike most fighting games.
In reference to the source material, certain characters (
Dio Brando, 
Wamuu, 
Esidisi, 
Kars, 
Vanilla Ice, and 
DIO) are considered Stone Mask characters. Included among the distinctions these characters possess is the fact that, outside of Practice and Online play, they cannot battle in stages that take place in daylight without completing certain in-game conditions related to ASB Mode.
Also referencing the source material, every stage is equipped with two elements that set them apart from each other:
- Dramatic Finish: A special mini-cutscene that takes place if, during a match-winning round, a character is KO'd with an HHA/GHA while on a specific side of a given stage. These often reference events from the original story that led to grim outcomes.
- Arena Gimmicks: A stage-specific hazard that can affect both players in a given match, more often than not dealing significant damage (though incapable of KOing them). An explanation of each Arena Gimmick can be seen while in the Stage Select Screen, where they can also be disabled.
In tournament rulesets, Arena Gimmicks are disabled due to the effects they bring into battle, which can potentially affect the match's outcome. With that said, they will all be listed here for completion's sake.
Dio's Castle
Stage Overview
Dio's Castle is a stage from Phantom Blood, the first part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The stage takes place inside the castle where Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando fought, next to a balcony that shows the full moon and night sky. The background is filled with Dio's zombie minions and, if he is not selected by either player, Robert E. O. Speedwagon.
Dramatic Finish
The Dramatic Finish for this stage can be triggered while facing the balcony. If a player performs the Dramatic Finish, the opponent will fly off the balcony and onto the ground below, referencing Dio's "defeat" in the part.
Arena Gimmick
On this stage, the Arena Gimmick appears on the opposite side of the balcony. Once a player is knocked down into the activation area, the chandelier on the ceiling will begin to come loose with Dio's minions hanging from it. Afterwards, a red warning circle will appear in the center of where the activation area once was. After Speedwagon takes notice of the chandelier, Dio's minions emerge from the ceiling and a zombie looks over to the sound of it coming loose, after which the piece of furniture will fall as an Unblockable attack and deal 150 damage to any player near the warning circle.

Battlefield
Stage Overview
Battlefield is a stage from Battle Tendency, the second part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The stage takes place in Skeleton Heel Stone, the racetrack-like arena where Joseph Joestar and Wamuu had their final standoff. There are many zombies in the stands, horses on the left edge, and (if neither player has selected the characters) Kars and Lisa Lisa watching from the center.
Dramatic Finish
The Dramatic Finish for this stage can be triggered while facing the left edge, where the horses normally are. If a player performs the Dramatic Finish, the opponent will fall onto the ground. Once there, the horses will run over and stomp onto them, alluding to Joseph almost suffering the same fate.
Arena Gimmick
On this stage, the Arena Gimmick appears on the left edge, in front of the horses. Once a player is knocked into the activation area, the horses will begin to run around the arena. After some time, they will run onto the battle area; when they are about to appear, three different panels of the horses running around the track will be shown alongside a warning line. Once the horses run onto the battle area, players near the warning line will be hit by an Unblockable attack that deals 150 damage, though it does not cause a hard knockdown. This will continue to happen periodically for the rest of the match.

As a result of the battle, many circular-shaped holes leading to the mansion's exterior can be seen in the walls and background, sunlight poking through these holes. Nukesaku appears as a background character, moving throughout the room. If neither player has selected Dio Brando or DIO, the latter will also appear at the top of the stairs in the background, watching the fight.
Dramatic Finish
The Dramatic Finish for this stage can be triggered while facing the holes leading outside. If a player performs the Dramatic Finish, the opponent will be launched out of the mansion and into the sunlight, where any Stone Mask character (except Kars as the Ultimate Life Form) will be instantly vaporized.
