Infinite Lives and Charms
There is a simple exploitation in Sir Raleigh's "Prowling Grounds" level that allows you to stock up on infinite lives and lucky charms. In the "Prowling Grounds" area, a free life can be found in a window pane to the left of the "High Class Heist" mini-game level. The lucky charm is found inside a window pane above a bramble bush. Grab both of these items then enter the "High Class Heist" mini-game. Exit the mini-game immediately to return to the "Prowling Grounds." The items will have reappeared. Repeat this as many times as you like to build up extra lives.
Save a Life
Press the Start button at any time to exit a level, other than the final level. If you press the Start button after Sly is killed and time it just right, you can exit the level without losing the life. You must press Start just before the scene changes to the dying cutscene. This is a simple way to prevent a game over when you are low on lives. However the trick will not work on the final level or against the final boss.
Unlockable Content
Completing different in-game tasks in "Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racconus" unlocks additional game content. Collect each of the multiple bottles hidden in each level to unlock special content like a fighting move, a movie sequence or additional game information. Complete the game to unlock the opening sequence from the Japanese version of the game. Locate all of the pages of the Thievius Racconus to unlock a special ending. Unlock a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the game by completing each Master Thief Run.
