Appearances[]
Jet Set Radio[]
In Jet Set Radio, Graffiti Souls make appearances in all five stages in the game. For this game they simply unlock graffiti pieces and hold no importance to the story. In the HD release an achievement called "I Got Soul" unlocks when collecting all them. The Jet Set Radio Graffiti Soul also appears as the icon for the "When you're a Jet" achievement.
Typing Jet[]
In Typing Jet, Graffiti Souls were confirmed to appear in the game via its synopsis. Their purpose in the game was to unlock new words and "other benefits".
Jet Set Radio Future[]
In Jet Set Radio Future, once the player collects all the Graffiti Souls in an area, they will unlock the Test Runs for the area, and upon completion of those, the hidden character for that area. Furthermore, not all Graffiti Souls are available in the level from the very beginning. To make the other Graffiti Souls appear, the player will need to find the Mystery Tape in the area, then once the player has collected it, the player must complete 5 Street Challenges.
Unlike the previous game, Graffiti Souls play a slightly bigger role this time around. If the player has less than 25 souls before facing Rapid 99, they will tell them to go back and get enough to face them. Later, at the start of chapter 7, Clutch comes in and steals 40 Graffiti Souls, but if the player somehow does not have enough, Clutch will encourage the player to get more so the story can progress. The Graffiti Soul for Jet Set Radio Future appears as the icon for the "Back to the Future" achievement in the HD release of Jet Set Radio.
