A fifth game [[SequelHook was teased at the end]] of ''Thieves in Time'', but never came about. Creator/SanzaruGames, 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 UsefulNotes/{{Oculus|Rift}} subsidiary and Sucker Punch having moved on to [[VideoGame/{{Infamous}} new]] [[VideoGame/GhostOfTsushima projects]] ([[https://www.suckerpunch.com/upcoming-infamous-2-ugc-maintenance-and-legacy-franchises/ and confirming as of mid-2022]] that no new ''Sly'' or ''[=InFAMOUS=]'' projects were in development), the series' future remains unknown at this point.

''Sly Cooper'' is a series of 3D {{platformer}}s published by [[Creator/{{Sony}} Sony Computer Entertainment]] and developed by Creator/{{Sucker Punch}}. The only slightly lesser-known member of the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2's trio of Mascots, along with [[VideoGame/JakAndDaxter Jak]] and [[Franchise/RatchetAndClank Ratchet]].

* DarkChick: Mz. Ruby in ''Sly 1''.

* ''The Sly Collection'' (2010) - A compilation of the previous three games remastered for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 and UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita.

* BareYourMidriff: Carmelita and Neyla.

* LawOfConservationOfDetail: If you see anything that even slightly stands out from the level's scenery or looks superfluous, you can be sure it will play a role in one of the jobs of that level.

* SmokeOut: The Smoke Bomb gadget for Sly creates a cloud of smoke, distracting guards and allows him to escape fights.

* SuperDrowningSkills: Sly can't swim in the first game and drowns if he falls into water with no [[SingleUseShield Horseshoes]], even though raccoons in RealLife 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 a excuse, since hippos, contrary to popular belief, can't actually swim.[[/note]] None of the mooks are able to swim either, drowning as soon as they enter the water.

** 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 took at least three or more blows.
* TopHeavyGuy: 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.

* WouldHitAGirl: Sly may be a gentleman thief, but will attack anyone trying to harm him and his crew. The female enemies in Panda King's stage and Mz. Ruby in ''Sly 1''. [[spoiler:The Contessa and Neyla in ''Sly 2''. Penelope as the Black Baron in ''Sly 3'' though he didn't know it at the time, and again in ''Thieves in Time'', this time ''[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge knowingly]]'']]. Ms. Decibel in ''Thieves in Time''. Bentley to [[spoiler:a mech-suited Penelope while in his own mech suit in ''Thieves in Time''. Justified entirely since she broke his heart]].
* WrenchWench: Penelope specializes in remote-controlled vehicles, so the gang try to hire her on. However, [[spoiler: [[FaceHeelTurn she later betrays them]] in ''Thieves in Time'']].
