Flying Raccoon (also named Jetpack Drop) is the level 2 Super Move for Sly Cooper. Upon activation, Sly takes to the air on a Jetpack, allowing him to fly across the stage. Pressing an attack button causes two bombs to drop out of the bottom of the pack to the ground bellow, exploding and killing any opponent not able to dodge them. The super is best used closer to the ground, as it gives the enemy players less time to respond to the bombs dropping. It lasts long enough to score up to three kills, assuming the other players aren't capable of dodging the bombs or stalling. the super is active just long enough to earn 3 kills, but it is possible to get 4 with enough luck.
Origin[]
This is a reference to the first Sly Cooper game, where Carmelita gave her jetpack to Sly to fight Clockwerk. Sly has to work with Carmelita, firing at the gaps she makes in Clockwerk's armor to beat him. The move is similar to the game but its weapons are different. In this game he drops bombs while in Sly Cooper it had two shoulder mounted cannons.
Trivia[]
- The super is inspired by the end of Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, when Sly utilizes Carmelita's Jetpack to defeat Clockwerk.
- If you look close enough, you can see a horseshoe on the back of the jet pack. This is a reference to Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus. Sly could take an extra hit if he had one.
