The title's pretty self-explanatory, but I'll elaborate regardless. It's no secret that Part 3 is the poster child of JoJo parts in general, being the one that introduced Stands and all that, but I think everyone can agree it doesn't hold up to the test of time as well as Part 4 or Part 5 do. The main cast (excluding Polnareff, Joseph and Jotaro) are pretty one-dimensional and barely get any character development or backstory, the Stands lack the creative abilities of those from future Parts, and Araki didn't fully embrace the musical reference tradition at that point in time, despite naming most of the villains after songs, bands or albums.

So what I'm here to propose is: let's fix Part 3 and give it the treatment Araki gave the later parts. Whether it be by fixing the story, the characters, or the Stands, anything goes. I'll start with the obvious candidate for an update: Star Platinum.

Stand Name: North Star

Namesake: Mike Oldfield - North Star (Platinum Finale)

Stand User: Jotaro Kujo

Stats:

-Destructive Power: A

-Speed: A

-Range: E

-Durability: A

-Precision: A

-Developmental Potential: A+

Ability:

Optical Telescope: Identical to the original Star Platinum's ability, North Star can use its eyes as pseudo-binoculars, shrinking or enlarging the pupils to see distant objects or magnify things otherwise too tiny for the naked eye to see. As its ability lacks much practical use in combat, North Star has A's in nearly every physical stat to compensate.

For the record, I'll be calling The World 'Holy Diver' because that's what I assume most people would use for its musical namesake. Of course, if you disagree, provide your own variation of the name and why you believe it fits better.

Stand Name: North Star Platinum

Namesake: Mike Oldfield - North Star (Platinum Finale)

Stand User: Jotaro Kujo

Stats:

-Destructive Power: A

-Speed: A (∞ while Holy Diver is active)

-Range: E

-Durability: C

-Precision: A (∞ while Holy Diver is active)

-Developmental Potential: F

Ability:

Holy Diver: After learning to express himself and not shut in his emotions, Jotaro's North Star undergoes a small metamorphosis akin to Purple Haze Distortion. By multiplying its own Speed and Precision for 5 seconds, North Star becomes fast enough to dwarf the very speed of light, allowing it to move so fast it perceives time as having frozen still, not unlike the time-stopping ability of DIO's Holy Diver (thus the name). Unfortunately, this ability is incredibly draining for Jotaro, who requires a great deal of stamina to even move in this state of frozen time as he doesn't share the speed or precision of his own Stand, and sometimes has to have it physically move him instead.
