The Ninja Spire Jump is a move that exists in the Thievius Raccoonus, and is used often by many members of the Cooper Clan. According to Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, Rioichi Cooper invented the move to help him get over tall palace walls in feudal Japan; however in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, many ancestors, including those born before Rioichi, can use the ninja spire jump.
