Lemon Rage
Sly: Listen up, dirt-bags! Time to clear out. From now on, this bar is Cooper Gang turf!
Miner: Tough talk Wagga, but you ain't got no respect with us. We here are known around these parts for our drinkin' skills... and this just happens to be a lemonade bar.
― The Cooper Gang confronting miners in the Outback Bar[src]
"Lemon Rage" is a job for Sly Cooper, Bentley and Murray in "Rumble Down Under" of Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves.
Background
The gang must drive the miners out of their lemonade bar.
Synopsis
Sly, Bentley and Murray head over to a nearby lemonade bar. Sly tells Bentley and Murray to get tough and angry as it is time to intimidate the miners. Bentley questions if he could do it, asking them how they get angry. Sly states that their main goal is to drive out the miners and they will do whatever it takes.
Once they are inside, they are faced with three dingoes. Sly acts tough and tells them to clear out as the bar is now Cooper Gang turf. The dingoes challenge them to a lemonade drinking contest, which they accept. They head over to the table to begin. Whoever downs the drink faster wins for their team. Sly is first, then Murray, and then Bentley.[notes 1] The gang wins, but one of the dingoes claim that Bentley cheated by saying that he "spilled more then he drink". Having no tolerance at all for this, the miners turn on the electric fence and the two teams break out into a fight. Several other guards come in, including kangaroos.
With the whole place packed with goons, each gang member must defeat these goons, which they successfully do. However, a giant dingo wearing the Mask of Dark Earth comes in and creates havoc. As Sly keeps him occupied, Bentley and Murray work together to stun him, so that Sly can attack him. Bentley will create bombs that Sly must lure him over to stun him. Murray will knock him out by tossing barrels at him. This process is continued until Sly finally defeats him, allowing the mask to escape... again. Despite this, the bar is still clear of the miners.
Behind the scenes
This job was called "Lemonade Brawl" in the Sly 3 demo. Also in the demo, no coins would spawn from defeated enemies.
Trivia
- Lemon Rage contains many homages to a Bars seen in real-life and in other media such as shows, films and even other games; the "Lemonade Bar" and the drink that is served, "Lemonade" is the Sly Cooper equivalent to that of a Beer Bar and the drink that they serve, Beer and or wine; the mission of a Drink Off is also a homage a "Bear Drinking Contest" seen in real-life and the climax of Sly, Bentley and Murray fighting off the Dingoes and Kangaroos is also a homage to fight scenes seen in a Bar as well.
- This is the second Job of Sly 3: Honer Among Thieves to contain a boss fight despite not being the final Job of the Episode, the first of which being Spelunking of the same Episode.
Notes
- ↑ According to a possible line he can say during the contest, Bentley is allergic to lemons. Whether or not he was lying is unknown.
