I think the world only has the time stop ability and Jonathan's Stand. He cured Pucci with his vampire powers. Ok....

However i think "The World" or the Stands in general had a superior power and purpose. I think this because the "hints"(if we can call it this way):

1) "Heaven" formula: Dio, somehow, know a method to destroy his stand to evolve it into something new. This formula also involve secret words, a living creature and a pose.

2) Vento Aureo ending: The end of this arc is a big WTF. SCR has an ability to exchange spirits, power up stands and make an earth invasion by alien creatures!

Yes, this is a big offtopic, but i think the nature of The World multiple abilities is not the stand buy Dio's powers and knowledge.

Another thing to note is that Diego (the 2nd one) has The World and it's ability was time stop only.
