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 .
• 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 button acts as both an attack and a charge-up; in order to "charge" up the attack, Sly must land consecutive 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, 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 (forward or backward) + . 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 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 .
• Initially, pressing as Sly will trigger his uppercut attack from Sly 2. However, once Sly attacks Carmelita, pressing will trigger a prototype of his charge combo.
  • The button acts as both an attack and a charge-up; in order to "charge" up the attack, Sly must land consecutive 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.

Play Cut Jobs

In the files remains mission data from the build that this demo was built from. Using a mod, you can select and play these unfinished missions.

Notes

• Sly's ability to take pictures seems to be completely missing in this demo so every time there is photoshoot in the missions just press L1 and R1 at the same time while using the binocucom. It will load the next feasible checkpoint.
• Some missions that are in the disc for example Into the Depths and Canal Chase are not included because those ones barely have any gameplay in the hub map.
• Selecting the extra missions doesn't work if you open the job select menu from the pause menu. Setting savestate to the job select menu or rebooting the game is needed. Using lot of savestates in general is encouraged.
• Disguise is somewhat fixed but it can still crash sometimes when equipping it. Use savestates!

The mod (pnach file) is made for PCSX2 1.6.0. Might not work in other versions.
