Sunset Snake Eyes

"So he's holed up in Mesa City, huh? I've always wanted to go to that thriving American boomtown."

- Sly Cooper

"Sunset Snake Eyes" is the second episode of Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus. It was set in Mesa City, Utah, and the main antagonist was Muggshot.

Background
As the gang made the trip to Mesa City, Sly Cooper studied up on the second Fiendish Five member Muggshot, learning that he grew up as the "runt of the litter," always being bullied and picked on. The only friends he looked up to were gangsters found on the big screen, and he knew right away that was what he wanted to be. Determined to earn the respect he wanted, Muggshot spent the rest of his youth working real hard to become a tough-as-nails brute. He got revenge on his former bullies and eventually took control of Mesa City, building a massive casino and forcing all of the citizens to flee town.

Ending
Muggshot's section of the Thievius Raccoonus contained an entry for Sly's gun-slinging ancestor, "Tennessee Kid" Cooper, whose specialty was the Rail Walk and Rail Slide, which he perfected during his long time of thievery in the Old West.

With the INTERPOL authorities arriving, getting out of town was tougher for the gang than getting in. Having just missed Sly once again, Carmelita Fox went ahead and busted Muggshot. This marked the end of Muggshot's gambling empire, and the citizens of Mesa City's soon returned home. Sly and the gang continued to enjoy the rest of their time in America before returning to Paris, ready to tackle their next opponent.
