A Bizarre Run beginner guide

Your first minutes in A Bizarre Run: pick a free Stand card (with one free reroll), learn to sprint with Left Shift while watching your Stamina, and follow the yellow arrow to the race. Every step below is from our own playthrough on Nov 7, 2026.

Checked in-game · Nov 7, 2026Game version: Release + D4C (Nov 7, 2026)How we verify ↗

1. Joining the game

Make sure you join A Bizarre Run by “A Bizarre Run By Current.”, not one of the other “Bizarre” games (how to tell them apart). New players load into a Tutorial.

Stuck on “Waiting for an available server”?

Servers fill up on update days. Close it with the X in the top-left and join again. On the D4C release day it took us four attempts and about 15 minutes.

2. Pick your first Stand (free)

  1. The game says “Pick a card to get your first Stand!” and lays out three face-down cards. Click any of them.
  2. The cards flip and show three Stands. Ours were The Sun, Mr. President and Anubis; yours are random.
  3. Click the Stand you want and press Continue, or press Reroll (1) to swap all three. You get one free reroll.
Step 1: three face-down Stand cards.
Step 2: our three Stands, with Continue and one free Reroll.

Checked in-game · Nov 7, 2026 We kept Mr. President.

3. Riding: sprint, Stamina and the yellow arrow

You start on your horse. The tutorial tells you to hold Shift to sprint. The vertical Stamina bar beside your horse drains while you sprint (ours dropped to 70% after a short ride) and refills when you let go.

A yellow arrow next to your horse points to where you need to go. Steer with A and D until it points straight ahead. Your place in the race (for example “9th”) is shown under your character.

The open start area: balloons, a steam train and a long line of riders.

FAQ

How do you get your first Stand in A Bizarre Run?
The tutorial gives you one for free. Pick one of three face-down cards; it flips to show three Stands. Press Continue to keep the highlighted one, or use your one free Reroll for a new set.
Can you reroll your first Stand?
Yes, once. The first-Stand screen shows Reroll (1) next to Continue. After that, rerolls cost Stand Card Rerolls from the shop.
Why does A Bizarre Run say “Waiting for an available server”?
All servers are full, which happens on update days. Close the screen with the X and join again; it took us several tries on the D4C release day.
Where do I go in the tutorial?
Follow the yellow arrow next to your horse. If you ride the wrong way you can end up at the sea; turn with A and D until the arrow points ahead.
How do I sprint without running out?
Hold Left Shift to sprint. It drains the Stamina bar beside your horse, so let go on bends and sprint again on straights.
