Daniel J. D'Arby appears alongside his cat when the player is beaten in Story Mode, as the Game-Over screen. He counts down from 10 until the player falls victim to Osiris or inserts another coin. He will shout "Good! (グッド!, Guddo!)" if the player continues.

Heritage for the Future

Daniel J. D'Arby appears alongside his cat as an announcer for the main menu, he will call out "OPEN(オープン) THE() GAME(ゲーム), Ōpun za gēmu!" when starting the game and announce whatever Mode is selected.

When beaten in Story Mode or Challenge Mode, D'Arby is part of the Game-Over screen, like the previous version of the game.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (PS1)

D'Arby is no longer a part of the main menu, but with the addition of Super Story Mode, he appears as a battle. D'Arby is encountered as a boss with three different minigames. The first game is Polnareff's bet against D'Arby on which piece of meat a cat will eat first. As the game is rigged, the player will almost always lose, though in rare cases the player can win and end the stage early. The second game sees the player compete with D'Arby as Joseph in the coin game seen in the original story; the player can cheat to invisibly lower the glass's tipping point, but D'Arby can also cheat to invisibly raise it. The third game is poker: the player can either win legitimately by forcing D'Arby to run out of coins to bet with, or use the "Bluff" option that appears when they are low on chips to end the fight similarly to the original story.

The Joestar group travels to Giza, where a gambler named Daniel J. D'Arby challenges Polnareff to see which of two pieces of meat a cat will eat first. Polnareff guesses incorrectly, and D'Arby takes his soul with his Stand Osiris, incidentally revealing that the cat is his. In order to save Polnareff, Joseph bets his soul on a game involving dropping coins in a glass of water; whoever drops the coin that makes it spill loses. D'Arby cheats at the game and drops more coins than the glass should handle, causing Joseph to mentally surrender and forfeit his soul. Fed up with D'Arby's antics, Jotaro challenges the gambler to his favorite game, poker. Should the player choose to bluff, Jotaro chooses not to look at his cards before betting Avdol's soul, as well as his mother's. D'Arby, unable to know if Star Platinum looked at or swapped his cards, goes insane under the pressure and folds, putting him out of commission.
Secret Factor: I'd have been horrified if I knew. (もし知っていたらゾッとしたぜ)

Win either the cat or coin mini-game, or win the poker mini-game by bluffing.
