Contents

The main menu music is the underground Venice theme. The demo contains a promotional video of the backstory of Sly 3 and four playable levels. The following comparisons are made with regards to the NTSC release build.

Lemonade Brawl

Main article: Sly 3:Lemonade Brawl

In the this build the job is called "Lemonade Brawl".

• The scrolling instructions along the top of the drinking challenge states: "Mash buttons to drink faster."
• Sly's charge cane spin attack from Sly 2 is present and can be executed; press and hold square.
• The controls page in the pause menu references Sly 2's controls, and only for Sly, regardless of the character currently under control.
• Sly's Charge Combos operate much differently than in final retail builds. The triangle button acts as both an attack and a charge-up; in order to "charge" up the attack, Sly must land consecutive triangle hits on enemies. If consecutive hits are not landed within a certain period of time, the combo is reset to level 1.
• All three charge combos (Spin, Push, Jump), and all three levels of charge combos are available for Sly to use.
• When Murray is carrying an enemy, circle is throw, rather than pickpocket.
• The art on the coins is the same art used in the Sly 2 Prologue. (Clockwerk wings)
• The scrolling instructions along the top of the Mask boss battle states: "Let Bentley and Murray stun him before attacking."

Fly the Biplane

Main article: Sly 3:Fly the Biplane

In this build the job is called "Fly the Biplane".

• Story details are omitted from the job's description.
• The objective is to destroy 30 planes, instead of 25.
• There is no way to flip the biplane; in the final retail build, a flip is done with lstick (forward or backward) + circle. Performing this in the E3 2005 build will cause Sly to do a barrel roll instead.

The Shaman Escapes

Main article: Sly 3:The Shaman Escapes

In this build the job is called "The Shaman Escapes", and features the Guru, referred to as the Shaman.

• A different voice is used for The Guru when he is speaking to other characters.
• Pressing lstick to trigger the waypoint shows Sly's insignia, instead of a circle.
• The art on the coins is the same art used in the Sly 2 Prologue.
• Running behind enemies does not alert them.

2P: Sly/Carmelita

Main article: Sly 3:Cops and Robbers

In this build minigame is called "2P: Sly/Carmelita".

• Sly's charged cane spin attack from Sly 2 is present and can be executed; press and hold square.
• Initially, pressing triangle as Sly will trigger his uppercut attack from Sly 2. However, once Sly attacks Carmelita, pressing triangle will trigger a prototype of his charge combo.
  • The triangle button acts as both an attack and a charge-up; in order to "charge" up the attack, Sly must land consecutive triangle hits on enemies. If consecutive hits are not landed, the combo is reset to level 1.
• In addition to dropping off loot, Sly also gains points by killing Carmelita.
• Carmelita cannot natively perform Mega Jump; she must obtain the Mega Jump power-up to perform it.
• The voice actors for Sly and Carmelita when they pick up powerups are different than their retail voice actors.
