Sly Cooper (Franchise) | comment |
Sly Cooper is a series of 3D platformers published by Sony Computer Entertainment and developed by Sucker Punch. The only slightly lesser-known member of the PlayStation 2's trio of Mascots, along with Jak and Ratchet.Set in a World of Funny Animals, that takes pains to resemble a Saturday-Morning Cartoon, the games in the Sly franchise tell the tale of the world's greatest, yet most honorable, thief. The Cooper family (all raccoons) have been thieves for generations, extending back to prehistory if the stories are to be believed. Sly, the latest in the line, is orphaned as a child when rivals show up at his father's home to finish him off. In the orphanage, he picks up two lifelong compatriots, genius Bentley (a turtle) and super-strong Murray (a hippo). They grow up, and set off into the world to honor the Cooper legacy, mostly by robbing other criminals blind (There's no honor, no challenge, and no fun in taking from good people; taking from thieves is a real test).The gang is pursued by Carmelita Fox (a fox, naturally), Interpol inspector and primary love interest. As with Zenigata in Lupin III, Sly normally sets the bad guy he's up against to be arrested by Carmelita after he's done with them, while he escapes. note That little allusion should indicate just what Carmelita's role is. Well, aside from being Fanservice and the Love Interest.A fifth game was teased at the end of Thieves in Time, but never came about. Sanzaru Games, creators of Thieves in Time, have expressed interest in continuing the series, but have confirmed that it's up to Sony whether or not another Sly game will be made. However, with Sanzaru now an Oculus subsidiary and Sucker Punch having moved on to new projects (and confirming as of mid-2022 that no new Sly or InFAMOUS projects were in development), the series' future remains unknown at this point.The gameplay in all of the titles is fairly consistent. Sly has incredible jumping and climbing ability, and can move silently for stealthy knock outs. Most missions involve getting to somewhere, fighting some guards, doing a minigame puzzle, and getting out again. In the second game, Murray and Bentley are playable, with an even bigger cast in the third, including some missions played as Carmelita (the gang tricks her into helping them out).A pair of two promotional comics created by Sucker Punch Productions called The Adventures of Sly Cooper was published by GamePro Magazine and DC Comics in 2004 and 2005.In 2005, a short-lived manga was distributed in the Japan-only Comic BomBom magazine to promote the Japanese release of the second game, and can be read about here. Sly (and Bentley) also teamed up with Ratchet & Clank and Jak and Daxter in the three-way crossover PlayStation Move Heroes, and Sly is also a playable character in the Mascot Fighter PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. A film was also confirmed in 2014, but was cancelled as Ratchet & Clank (2016) was a Box Office Bomb. However, a CG-animated television series was announced in its place. It was set for an October 2019 release, but has not aired and is believed to be in Development Hell.As a video game stylized after a cartoon, it draws heavily on Animation Tropes and Video Game Tropes. | |

Honor Among Thieves | |
Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_128e9efd | comment |
Honor Among Thieves: Sly and his crew all live by a code of honor, stealing only from master criminals. Sly mentions from the outset of the series there is no honor to be found stealing from the average person. Not to mention it's not nearly as much fun or challenging. The third installment is even called Honor Among Thieves. | |

Chapter 4 of Thieves in Time has one of those moments as well. Bentley was rendered unplayable after discovering the truth about Penelope, leaving the rest of the gang to confront her themselves. It wasn't until at one point when Sly was trapped himself and about to get crushed by Penelope in her suit of armor... when Bentley suddenly comes to the rescue with a mech suit of his own! | |

Run, Don't Walk | |
Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_1778d9a0 | comment |
Run, Don't Walk: The first game had Sly run by default, while lightly using the analog stick allowed Sly to move more slowly and sneakily. From the second game forward, the playable characters walk by default, but they move relatively fast. While the slower, stealthier movements performed by lightly using the analog stick still exist, there is now a designated sprint button. Sprinting make you more detectable to the guards. | |

The second game.

Musical Gameplay | |
Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_19116ed1 | comment |
Musical Gameplay: The boss fight with Mz. Ruby in the first game, which can be a hassle to deal with if you haven't trained yourself for games like Space Channel 5. Becomes NOTABLY harder in The Sly Collection, because the music does not sync anymore with Mz. Ruby's attacks. The two dancing segments in "A Starry Eyed Encounter" in Sly 2 are similar, though noticeably not as difficult. There's also the opera duet in Sly 3, but the game really doesn't seem to care whether or not you have any rhythm. There's the Geisha dance with Murray, the figure-skating segments of Murray's fight with The Grizz, and Carmelita's belly dance in Thieves in Time. | |

The crew is expanded in the third game to include specialists who deal with very specific areas. | |

Cutlass Between the Teeth: Or, rather, Cane Between The Teeth. Sly Cooper, and most of his relatives in Thieves in Time, tend to carry their canes between their teeth when climbing up narrow vines, wire, rope, and other such things. The one known exception is Bob, who used his tail instead. | |

Furry Confusion | |
Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_27a40541 | comment |
Furry Confusion: A fairly common problem here. Muggshot's levels have the enemies - Muggshot himself included - be made up of dogs. Some of the minions however are on leashes and behave like pets. The third game had a "real" wolf in Holland, only to have dingoes walking and talking earlier in the game, wolves in Prague in the second game and coyotes with hats and guns in the fourth game. The second game had the "real" elephants in Rajan's levels, used in a similar manner to the real world. This is complicated with the existence of Ms. Decibel in the fourth game. "Real" bears are present as wild animals in Jean Bison's levels. This is complicated with the existence of The Grizz in the fourth game. The third game had the "real" crocodile in Uluru — particularly confusing given the existence of Mz. Ruby. The "real" Kraken in the archipelago housing Blood Bath Bay, and the "real" sharks plus Doctor M's giant mutant creatures on Kaine Island. Heck, Dr. M's goons in general, which are all horrifying Mix-and-Match Creatures, implying that they are the products of Dr. M's experiments, much like his giant half-machine mutants, and yet the tiny-winged gorilla-armed elephants he uses as flashlight guards (notably, also the least deformed looking of his minions) are capable of speech, and one even mentions having a wife and kid. "Real" rats can be found in 1 and 2, despite rats being a featured enemy in the latter game. This is further complicated with the existence of Penelope. "Real" chickens are found in the first and fourth game, yet General Tsao is present and in a high position of power in Sly 3. The first chapter of Thieves in Time has "real" pigeons, while the first chapter of Sly 3 has anthro pigeon mooks. Most disturbingly, in Sly 2 Murray disguises himself as a moose... by wearing a stuffed moose head. This one is extra bad for one main reason: It's not a "real" moose head. It's an anthropomorphic head with the same expressive face as the moose guards and even wearing one of their hats. Generally the games seem to treat anthropomorphic and wild animals differently, but here some coworker got killed and they used him for decoration. Sly 2 had the "real" woolly mammoth frozen in ice, while Thieves in Time had the anthro woolly mammoth guards. | |

Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_27a58d30 | comment |
Carnivore Confusion: Everyone is an animal. What do they eat? Okay, not every animal eats meat, but that burger Murray's nomming on in the Sly 3 intro looks pretty suspect... If you lose against Jean Bison when fighting him as Bentley (with help from Sly) he'll make a comment that goes something along the lines of "Anybody in the mood for turtle soup?" There are leather shoes in 4, somehow. Also in 4, The Grizz owns a saber-tooth tiger rug... when some of his guards are saber-tooth tigers. Yikes. | |

Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_28104b90 | comment |
Bag of Spilling: Parodied. At the start of Sly 2, Bentley begins to tell Sly how to do the ninja spire jump, and Sly chides him for assuming that he would forget one of his most important skills. True enough, Sly retains the spire jump and rail-walk techniques that he learned in the first game for the rest of the series, but he still forgot a host of other skills from that game, such as the power to turn invisible, alter time, and how to not take damage from falling in water. Played straight for the jump between the second and third games, especially with regards to equipment like the Paraglider or power-ups like Silent Obliteration. Very annoying when you forget that you lose these... | |

Laser Hallway: A common theme throughout the games. However, the security lasers are the most unique in the first game. The yellow lasers are harmless, but it will turn into deadly red ones once it detects you. It can be deactivated when Sly destroys the generators. | |

Top-Heavy Guy | |
Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_28951c74 | comment |
Top-Heavy Guy: Muggshot, to the point of self-parody. His arms are absolutely colossal pillars of muscle and he walks using hands that are each as big as his whole lower body. His design in the "Timing is Everything" short is slightly less ridiculous, where he simply has comically exaggerated human proportions. Most Flashlight Guards from Sly 2 onward are about 75% torso, the better to underscore why taking them on in a straight fight is an astonishingly stupid idea. | |

Face Plant | |
Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_2db805c9 | comment |
The title character's idle animations included him removing his cap and either twirling it or tossing it in the air and having it land perfectly seated on his head, holding his cane as if lining up for a golf swing, using his cane to scratch his back (resulting in one of his legs starting to twitch like a dog's), and leaning on his cane (sometimes with the cane slipping out from under him and causing him to nearly Face Plant). | |

Invisible Grid | |
Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_2f6e4ace | comment |
Invisible Grid: There is a sort of "optional grid," in the form of his various climbing and landing techniques. All a jump needs to be is close, then a tap on the circle button brings Sly in for a perfect landing on a wire, vertical pole, or tiny point. Landing on bigger platforms is, in fact, trickier. In addition, all the points he can do this on are marked, representing his "thief senses." | |

Super Drowning Skills | |
Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_34bd7be2 | comment |
Super Drowning Skills: Sly can't swim in the first game and drowns if he falls into water with no Horseshoes, even though raccoons in Real Life can swim quite well. There is a skill from the Thievius Raccoonus that lets you avoid taking damage from water, but it still doesn't teach Sly how to swim. He then forgets about this skill in the second and third games, only to relearn it (along with the other playable characters) upon cracking the (optional) vault in Chapter 4 of the fourth game. Additionally, Murray is a hippo who can't swim (except in a cutscene) and Bentley is a turtle who can't swim.note Murray has an excuse, since hippos, contrary to popular belief, can't actually swim. Sly states in an instruction manual that they shouldn't have skipped swimming lessons back at the orphanage. Bentley soon becomes justified after he can no longer use his legs and travels around in a wheelchair. A number of enemies also have this weakness. Knock them into the water, watch them struggle for a bit, and then their coins come to the player's side as the enemy fades away. | |

Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping | |
Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_35b241c0 | comment |
Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Because her voice actress keeps getting replaced, Carmelita has a Spanish accent in the first game, gains a different, American accent in Sly 2, gets a different Spanish accent in Sly 3, and has yet another Spanish accent in Thieves in Time. Constable Neyla's accent in Sly 2: Band of Thieves, while meant to be British, was all over the place, once sounding briefly like a Southern Belle. Otherwise vaguely European. At one point, Bentley identifies her as Cockney. Alésia Glidewell voiced both Neyla and Carmelita, meaning she voiced both of the two biggest accent-slipping offenders in the series. The guard in the second Canada chapter of Sly 2 sounds a lot more Canadian before you beat him at the RC Combat Club than he does after he's beat. | |

Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_35ba90ab | comment |
Recruiting the Criminal: Carmelita will often enlist Sly's aid in taking on the Big Bad at the climax of the games, putting aside their rivalry to deal with a common foe. Carmelita appears to do this at the end of the third game when Sly "appears" to have gotten amnesia after being struck by one of Dr. M's attacks, calling him her partner, "Constable Cooper." It's not yet known how successful this is though. Inverted by Sly and the gang, most notably in Sly 3 where they manipulate the now Knight Templar Carmelita into unwittingly helping them out on several occasions. | |

Power-Up: Both in active and more passive flavors. In the first game, you could only use one of the active power-ups at a time, as they were all assigned to one button. The next two games allowed you to use three active power-ups at a time, as there were three power-up buttons to choose from. The fourth game has a lot more passive power-ups than active, though many of them are activated with specific button inputs. | |

Sly 3. The Cooper Vault is destroyed, eliminating the Cooper legacy forever, Sly becomes Carmelita's partner after faking amnesia and the rest of the gang go off on their own way. However, despite splitting up, Sly left his gang with a back door to some of the vault's riches, and the gang seems to be content with the lives they're living apart from one another. Further subverted with the destroyed vault; Bentley says that he and Penelope are making it even more secure. | |

Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_41d3778a | comment |
Benevolent Architecture: It's amazing how convenient the architecture can be for Sly Cooper and his various abilities. Apparently, criminals are fond of putting hooks randomly around to swing from, or peaks to land on. The only time hooks, peaks, and so on became dangerous was... within the Cooper Vault itself, built by the guys who actually use the maneuvers. Sly learns the "Spire Jump" in the first game, a move that specifically lets him land on small points. The fact that there are random lines going across gaps that just happen to have said points is remarkable, but all the others he can simply run across. | |

Ridiculously Long-lived Family Name: The Cooper Clan are a family of raccoons who were all Karmic Thieves, making their living stealing from less honorable criminal elements. Their family have lived and traveled across every corner of the Earth, detailing their techniques and accomplishments in a book named the Thievius Raccoonus. Their earliest known ancestor who made the book was Slytunkhamen Cooper I, a thief who stole from corrupt noblemen as early as 1350 BC in Ancient Egypt. Thieves in Time would reveal that the Coopers have been thieves as early as 10,000 BC, a Prehistoric raccoon named "Bob" Cooper having been an egg thief for his clan in the Stone Age. | |

She, Bentley, and Murray still continue to try and find the missing Sly. A secret ending confirms that Sly is still alive, but he's been stranded in Ancient Egypt. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: Bad enough Clockwerk tries to kill Coopers through the years he was alive out of sheer jealousy. Le Paradox takes the cake as his plan to be the greatest thief who ever lived involved going back in time to steal the canes of the Cooper ancestors and wiping out the family line's very existence. Why? Because it was revealed his father, who was also a thief, was about to steal a huge diamond and frame Sly's father for the heist, only except Father Cooper had already stolen it first and Father Paradox was caught. Without a father to train him in the art of thieving, Le Paradox got jailed early and went to blame his family's misfortunes on the Coopers. Going so far as to erase a family's existence over something so petty... | |

Cops Need the Vigilante | |
Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_51460d4e | comment |
Cops Need the Vigilante: While Carmelita Fox isn't exactly a slouch, her impressive track record of busts owe a lot to the Cooper Gang dismantling and defeating their various foes just in time for Carmelita to happen upon the beaten criminals. Sometimes this is inverted when Bentley's plans involve manipulating Carmelita into defeating their enemy for them, such as when they had her bust Muggshot and General Tsao in Honor Among Thieves. | |

Green Aesop: Jean Bison's deforestation in the second game and the poachers' strip mining of the Guru's home in the third. Thankfully, they don't harp on it too much - they hang heavy lampshades on the fact that, before he was turned into a Human Popsicle, his "tame the wilderness" mentality was pretty consistent with the values of his time, and you'd probably think he wasn't such a bad guy if not for all that spice trafficking he's doing. | |

Back Stab: From the second game onwards, Sly can Two-Hit KO enemies if he gets right behind them without being detected. This is especially useful against larger mooks who would otherwise rip him to shreds in one-on-one combat. Otherwise he has to brawl, and they usually alert other guards that way. | |

It's All My Fault: Because Clock-La's beak slammed down on Bentley, it left him entirely paralyzed from the waist down. Bentley took it on the chin and simply built a super wheelchair. But Murray, whom had accidentally released his grip on the beak, blamed himself for Bentley's paralysis. He blamed himself so much so that he left the group out of shame. Bentley tries to reassure Murray that not once did he ever harbor anger to Murray, and, just like when Murray left, simply states he knows it was an accident. | |

Central Theme: Envy gets you nowhere. All the Big Bads in the series have been driven by jealousy or a desire to rise above the rest, primarily out of bitterness towards the Cooper Clan's legacy. By contrast, Sly and the gang follow Honor Among Thieves without compromise, and accept each other as friends and partners despite their differences. | |

The Power of Hate: Clockwerk is centuries old and fueled on pure hate alone which is made up for his intense hatred and jealousy of the Cooper Clan's better thieving ability. He is so enraged and hate-filled, he not only has found a way to live forever through a "hate chip," but has also replaced his entire body with machinery, leaving nothing biological in his husk whatsoever. | |

The Reveal | |
Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: One in each game. In the first game, Clockwerk reveals he used to be a rival master thief of the Cooper Clan, whose jealousy of the Coopers allowed him to live for thousands of years. He also let Sly live after killing his father and stealing the Thievius Raccoonus, to show the world that without their book, the Cooper line would be nothing. In Sly 2, it turns out Neyla was working for Arpeggio of the Klaww Gang all along, helping Sly's gang find and steal the Clockwerk parts from the other Klaww Gang members. Arpeggio needed all the Clockwerk parts to form Clockwerk's body, allowing him to live forever. Unfortunately, Neyla had other plans... In Sly 3, Dr. M is revealed to have been The Smart Guy in Sly's father's gang. Sly's father was apparently a bit of a Jerkass to Dr. M, who began to hate the Coopers himself, causing him to desire the Cooper fortune, locked away in a hidden vault. And in Thieves in Time, Penelope pulled a Face–Heel Turn, betraying the Cooper Gang to Le Paradox by working as The Mole. Bentley did NOT take this well. | |

At its most frustrating in Thieves in Time. Not only do you have to collect clue bottles and treasures (which are now required for 100% completion), but there are also Sly Masks to collect. | |

In Thieves in Time, Sly has to fight a giant knight-looking robot operated by Penelope. | |

Like a freakin' totem pole of strongism!" Dimitri: Anything he says at all can be considered this. Most of the villains get a few good lines. Consider Sir Raleigh and Muggshot: Even the Panda King gets some in the third game. Sir Galleth Cooper in Thieves in Time. If the character isn't a Deadpan Snarker, they are probably this. | |

Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_8391b1c7 | comment |
Artistic License – Law: Inspector Carmelita Fox in unmitigated spades. First and foremost, the fact that she beats up criminals despite the fact they are incapacitated and already having suffered serious beatings from the Cooper Gang. In real life, cops are explicitly forbidden from using force against criminals if they are in custody. Using lethal force, or even deadly force against the Cooper Gang at all, even though the gang explicitly avoids harming police officers, and actually do the job for them. | |

Black-and-Gray Morality: Sly and the Cooper Gang are master thieves, yes, but their number one rule is never steal from anyone except other crooks, because, in addition to being immoral or wrong, there's just no fun or challenge in stealing from civilians. Furthermore, the people they steal from and/or take on are, for the most part, criminals that are even worse than they are, such as murderers (the Fiendish Five) and spice dealers (the Klaww Gang). | |

Protagonist-Centered Morality: Bentley's plans can sometimes be unnecessarily ruthless, ranging from feeding live Mooks to a crocodile to luring Sly's love interest into taking out local thugs for the gang. This is lampshaded a couple times in the third game when Sly and Murray compliment Bentley on the latter's growing experience with underhanded tactics. | |

Villainous Breakdown | |
Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_957e5fc2 | comment |
Villainous Breakdown: Quite a few of them through the series. Rajan gets pretty pissed when his ball is ruined in the second game, leading him to retreat into the jungle that composes the third level. The artwork/cutscenes contribute to this as prior, Rajan is shown as an intimidating but relatively calm villain. In the artwork/cutscenes of the third level however, he is shown as far more feral, including a scene of him staring through a bush with rather bestial eyes. Befits the level title "The Predator Awakens," doesn't it? Muggshot rages at Sly for trashing his entire operation, noting that he feels transgressed. When he is betrayed, Arpeggio takes a moment to curse Neyla. At the end of Sly 3, Dr. M refuses to leave the Cooper Vault even as it collapses and presumably kills him in the process. Once cornered and exposed as a jealous, sociopathic Gold Digger who foolishly believed she was using Le Paradox when it's actually the other way around, Penelope snaps and attacks Bentley with her mecha suit. | |

Sly keeps saving Carmelita, not only because it's the right thing to do, but because stealing would be no fun without her around. As for Camelita, she wants to be the one to bring in Sly, and it wouldn't look good for her if someone else did that, or worse yet, killed him. | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: Murray. In the first game, he got scared when faced against grunts. In the sequels, he can pick them up, shake them dry of their possessions, and slam them on the ground. Even flashlight guards. Another example is Bentley. In the first game, he was the typical Mission Control guy, who did little more than allow Sly to view previous cutscenes and instruct him on the different tutorials, occasionally providing comic relief. From Sly 2 onward, he was promoted to demolitions expert, of all things. In Sly 3, seeing as how he is crippled, Bentley builds a wheelchair that has a jetpack (kind of), multiple explosive devices, and a pickpocketing mechanism. Sly himself from a gameplay perspective, having gone from a One-Hit-Point Wonder in the first game. In the first game, most of the mooks could be taken down in one blow. From the second game on, aside from being the victim of a sneak attack, most foes take at least three or more blows. | |

Conspicuously Selective Perception: The guards; oh, lord, the guards. If you are behind one picking his pocket, and he takes that moment to turn around to scratch his butt, he can come nose to nose with Sly's grinning face, look him right in the eyes, and not realize that he's being followed or is missing a few coins and the occasional treasure. This is less so with the main villains of the episode, but still applies to a certain degree. | |

Stealing from Thieves | |
Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_9ea277d2 | comment |
Stealing from Thieves: The Cooper Gang's modus operandi: they steal things from big-name criminals because there's no fun or honor in stealing from regular people. In Sly's words, "You rip off a master criminal, and you know you're a master thief." This also helps them feel heroic to the audience, since nearly everyone they steal from is up to some horrible stuff that overshadows simple thievery, and the gang often goes out of their way to stop their target's operation alongside the thievery. This is Zig-Zagged, however: in smaller stories such as the Sly 3 train robbery short, their victims don't appear to have done anything wrong and are robbed simply because it's fun to steal something valuable from them. | |

Timm Style | |
Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_a752d797 | comment |
Timm Style: The art style of the original trilogy (the second and third games especially) combines this trope with more exaggerated Looney Tunes-styled traits, giving the series a comic book-like aesthetic with cartoon-like expressiveness, along with a rich color palette. Thieves in Time also has elements of this style, but while the designs are more detailed, line work tends to be thinner and more rounded in cinematic cutscenes. | |

Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_a796d2a6 | comment |
Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: As long as you keep moving, Carmelita cannot hit Sly. In the third game, when she chases Sly in the usual fashion, he stops and has a brief conversation with another character while Carmelita misses them both by miles, despite all parties involved standing still. One exception is in an episode of the second game. She actually aims ahead of you, forcing you to change directions or give her a wide berth. The flashlight guards avert this. The only way you're going to avoid their shots is to put something between you and them. Though, at least in 2 and 3, their accuracy is limited to the area their flashlight shines on. If you get out of the light, their accuracy becomes more believable. | |

As such, he has spent generations in conflict with members of the Cooper Clan, always returning to haunt the next generation. Even after being destroyed for good in Sly 2, his crippling of Bentley marks a permanent reminder of his hateful legacy. | |

In a Single Bound: Becomes increasingly more common as the series progresses. Carmelita has always had it. She needs it to get a good shot at Sly. Sly got it in the second game with the Feral Pounce move, and he also gets the Mega Jump for a mission, after which it disappears (but after getting 100% Completion, there's a cheat that you can use to get it back). Murray got it in the form of the Turnbuckle Launch (then lost it again). In 3, his Aboriginal Ball Form allows him to bounce to incredible heights with enough momentum. Bentley uses Jet Packs in various forms. Rioichi has the Leaping Dragon technique. | |

Another example is Bentley. In the first game, he was the typical Mission Control guy, who did little more than allow Sly to view previous cutscenes and instruct him on the different tutorials, occasionally providing comic relief. From Sly 2 onward, he was promoted to demolitions expert, of all things. In Sly 3, seeing as how he is crippled, Bentley builds a wheelchair that has a jetpack (kind of), multiple explosive devices, and a pickpocketing mechanism. | |

Wings Do Nothing: For the bird and bat mooks, their wings are this. When Sly, or another character, shoves them off a roof, over a really high edge, or off of a bridge over water, they can't fly up. At best, they have to find a way to jump or climb up to Sly's location. At worst, they fall or drown to death. Sometimes they'll flap their wings uselessly before gravity takes them down. | |

Aesop Amnesia | |
Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_c435ec5d | comment |
Aesop Amnesia: In the second game, Carmelita warms up slightly to Sly and comes to somewhat enjoy their game of cat-and-mouse like he does. In the third game, she's not only back to her old hard-nosed self, but also becomes cold enough to be considered an antagonist. Sly himself lampshades this in the third game when asking what happened to the "demure girl" that he used to know, to which Carmelita replies that she grew up and no longer takes grief from criminals. Also happens in between the first and second games. Justified in that at the end of both the first and second games, Sly does something to irritate Carmelita and she vows to continue tracking him down. At the end of the first game, he used the learning moment to handcuff Carmelita to a rail so he can escape, and in the second game, he jumps out of the helicopter they were in carrying one of her prized possessions (only to give it back to her later). Though Carmelita wasn't that upset about the latter, she seemed happy about it and it carries over in the in-between comic where she engages in their usual playful banter. Sly, between the third and fourth games. In the third, he decides that the cat-and-mouse game with her is actually him being cowardly, and he even fakes amnesia, giving up his life of crime and his family legacy, so that he can be with her. In the fourth game, Sly's already considering getting back into crime (because he's bored) before the plot gives him an excuse to. He doesn't even seem to consider jeopardizing his relationship with Carmelita as a Sadistic Choice. | |

Idle Animation | |
Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_c64db44b | comment |
Idle Animation: Many of the player characters throughout the series. The title character's idle animations included him removing his cap and either twirling it or tossing it in the air and having it land perfectly seated on his head, holding his cane as if lining up for a golf swing, using his cane to scratch his back (resulting in one of his legs starting to twitch like a dog's), and leaning on his cane (sometimes with the cane slipping out from under him and causing him to nearly Face Plant). Bentley will often pull out a set of blueprints, look around nervously, perform a stationary wheelie in his wheelchair (from Sly 3 onward), or sneeze so hard that it causes him to double over (yet doesn't draw the attention of any nearby guards, interestingly enough). Murray will occasionally try to pull up his belt (why he wears a belt when he has no pants is anybody's guess), resulting in his hands slipping and Murray accidentally smacking himself in the face. Carmelita gets a few in the third game; She will occasionally glance about pensively (sometimes shifting her weight from one foot to another) or scan about with the flashlight on her shock pistol. Some of the NPC guards will also have idle animations. For example; in the China level of Sly 3, the monkey guards will occasionally play with their shurikens, resulting in them pricking their fingers on the sharp points. The characters also have idle animations that play during the character selection screen; Sly's include balancing his cane on his hand, twirling his cap, and (in Sly 2 and 3) pulling out his family book, the Thievius Raccoonus and reading it for a few moments, sometimes appearing surprised by what he reads. Bentley will look at blueprints and sometimes whip out a calculator and crunch some numbers. Murray will occasionally doze off briefly before startling back awake, and sometimes produce a slice of pizza from behind his back, scarfing it down in nearly one bite. | |

Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_c82e751f | comment |
Unspoken Plan Guarantee: Zig-zagged. A cutscene is dedicated to Bentley laying out the details of the plan for the gang (and the player) before the heist commences. Something will inevitably go wrong during the heists, but the heists themselves are almost always successful in spite of this. The one plan that plays this straight is the plan to free Penelope from Captain LeFwee. Bentley mentioned having two plans for that mission, but he didn't elaborate on them; despite the usual hiccups, the plan works. | |

Family Extermination: Clockwerk has this as his overall goal. A massive owl that's thousands of years old, he so despises the Cooper family that he's gradually replaced his entire body with cybernetic parts just so he can keep tormenting them across the centuries. He's spent his immortal life trying to wipe out every single one of the raccoon thieves, and it's eventually revealed that the combination of his determination to massacre them and the sheer hatred in his heart have made him functionally immortal—he wants to kill the Coopers so badly that he can't die until he does. | |

Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_ccb636fe | comment |
Subverted to good effect in Sly 3 when the Panda King is defending the crew's ship from the Crusher, using rockets to stun and repel the tentacles. His triumphant boasts are cut short when he discovers he is all out of ammo and has to pass the baton to Sly. | |

Bickering Couple, Peaceful Couple: Sly and Carmelita form the bickering part, and Bentley and Penelope form the peaceful part, but that's only on the surface; Carmelita does love Sly, while Penelope never loved Bentley in the first place. | |

Anti-Frustration Features: In the first game, you will sometimes receive a horseshoe (or even two) if you die enough times in a single area. In the second and third games, some of the missions that involve retrieving items will let you keep the items you have already retrieved and restart you in a useful starting place for retrieving the next one in the event you fail the mission. In addition, the third game will increase your health/defense and eventually increase your attack strength if you repeatedly lose in a major fight (e.g., a boss battle). | |

Breakout Character | |
Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_da0eeab5 | comment |
Breakout Character: Although Sly is (obviously) the hero, Bentley nearly steals the narrative out from under him in the next two games. Whereas in Sly 1 he's a geeky Professor Frink type who mainly exists to give you mission objectives, he begins to undergo heavy character development when he's left to fend for himself halfway through Sly 2. By the end of Sly 3, he's been crippled and confined to a wheelchair, gotten himself a girlfriend, and emerged as the real leader of the Cooper Gang. This becomes a plot point near the end of the third game. In fact, he even narrates the third and fourth games's credits! | |

Fake Ultimate Hero | |
Sly Cooper (Franchise) / int_da3043c5 | comment |
Fake Ultimate Hero: Carmelita Fox. As much as she makes headlines and is a competent cop, it's hard not to notice that she rarely makes arrests in the games that aren't bosses she either teamed up with Sly to beat or found after Sly beat. The exceptions are when Sly makes off with the Clockwerk wings (where she gets so pissed she arrests almost everyone at the party who isn't a member of the Klaww or Cooper gangs), and after her battle with Muggshot in the third game. Granted, it was already planned by the gang luring him towards her, but after they crossed each other she took him all by herself. | |

He Who Must Not Be Seen: Clockwerk in the first game. The members of the thieves guild in the second game wear purple cloaks and are seen physically only as yellow, slitted eyes. In the prologue of the third game, all of the members of the team are silhouetted in the binocucom, besides Sly and Bentley. In the remaster, however, if you use your binocucom in the room that "Agent Deep Six" bombs, you can clearly see it's Dimitri. | |

Expy: Bentley sounds and acts similarly to Jerry Lewis. Murray is a lot like Chris Farley. Neyla's getup and accent resembles Lara Croft. Penelope has some resemblance to Gadget Hackwrench, in that both are Wrench Wenches and ace pilots. Thieves in Time then turned Penelope into Gadget's Evil Counterpart. Thieves in Time villain Toothpick resembles Ren with his demented appearance, East European accent, and Ax-Crazy temper. Also Le Paradox in the same game reminds some people of Pepe Le Pew, another french skunk. | |

Big Damn Heroes: Chapter 6 of Sly 3 begins with Carmelita rescuing Sly from certain death by the hands of Dr. M. Although, her aim appeared to be the capture of both Sly and Dr. M for thefts and attempted murder respectively. Chapter 4 of Thieves in Time has one of those moments as well. Bentley was rendered unplayable after discovering the truth about Penelope, leaving the rest of the gang to confront her themselves. It wasn't until at one point when Sly was trapped himself and about to get crushed by Penelope in her suit of armor... when Bentley suddenly comes to the rescue with a mech suit of his own! | |

No Peripheral Vision: The guards and some of the bosses during the trailing missions appear to suffer from this.
