Rail Slide ("Tennessee Kid" Cooper's Rail Walk Technique)

Master the Rail Walk and Rail Slide, essential moves perfected by "Tennessee Kid" Cooper. Learn how to use them in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time and other games in the series.

Alright, let's talk about one of the coolest moves in the Sly Cooper series: the Rail Walk and Rail Slide. These slick maneuvers were totally perfected by the legendary "Tennessee Kid" Cooper himself, who used them to make quick getaways from stage coaches and trains. You'll be using these a lot, especially in _Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time_. How to Use the Rail Walk/Slide: It's pretty straightforward. When you see a wire or rail with that tell-tale stealth aura above it, just jump towards it and press the !circle button. You'll hop right onto it and start sliding! A Bit of History: Sly first learned the Rail Walk after he beat Muggshot back in _Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus_. In _Sly 2: Band of Thieves_, _Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves_, and _Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time_, it's usually part of the tutorial. Keep an eye out in _Thieves in Time_ because you can actually upgrade this move to the Rail Sprint by purchasing it from ThiefNet. Sly's dad, Conner Cooper, even developed his own version, the laser slide, which you'll learn in the Cooper Vault. Who Else Can Do It? Besides Sly and "Tennessee Kid" Cooper, other ancestors like Rioichi Cooper, Sir Galleth Cooper, and Salim al-Kupar can also use the Rail Walk. Just a heads-up, Sly actually moves a bit slower doing the Rail Walk in _Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time_ compared to earlier games. Oh, and Bob Cooper can't use this move at all because, well, he's a bit too big! Even some villains have shown off these moves, like Constable Neyla, El Jefe, and Cyrille Le Paradox. So, practice up, and you'll be sliding like a pro in no time!
