The Clappy Trio are three lions, sporting red afros and white disco suits. They enjoy to clap their hands in time to the beat of a song in turn. They are colored yellow-orange, their noses are red, and their afros are red with yellow sparkles on them. In [[The Snappy Trio]], they appear in a wild west city set as part of a TV Western<ref name="Item">"Yip, yip, yippee! The Trio is going to be on a TV Western!

Their wigs were a gift from one of their fans, who moved soon after and never got to see the trio wear them<ref>"Our trademark wigs were actually a gift from one of our fans!

They performed mostly on street corners, mostly for spare change. Prior to their rise in popularity, they spent all their money from their previous 18 performances to buy fancy suits to improve their image, but they could only afford one for each.<ref>"We used all of the money from our last 18 gigs to buy these fancy suits to improve our image.

They have gone by other names, but they're most recognizable as "The Clappy Trio" because it best connects with their performance. There were rumors that they wanted to change their name<ref name="chara"/>, and they soon made their debut again as "The Snappy Trio" as part of a TV Western, and they wear snappy suits to match. They considered trying to fit their afros under their hats<ref name="Item"/> in an effort to be recognized by the fan who gave them the afros as a gift.<ref>"な、なんと、オレたち三人衆にテレビからオファーが！？しかも、クールなウェスタンのいしょうとセットでの、さつえいだ！昔アフロをくれたあの子、見てくれるかな～？あ、アフロかぶらないと、わからないか…。" (Wh-what?! The three of us got an offer to appear on TV! Plus, it's a cool western show! That girl who gave us our afros a long time ago, will you look at that? Oh, if we don't wear them, you'll never recognize us...) ~ Rhythm Item description for [[The Snappy Trio]], ''Rhythm Tengoku: The Best Plus''</ref> A lot of people were against the name, and there were rumors about them renaming again<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/brij/chara/stage06.html</ref>. | They have gone by other names, but they're most recognizable as "The Clappy Trio" because it best connects with their performance.

One day, one of the members saw another group nearby, a [[Chorus Kids|chorus]] that just couldn't get their act together, because the third member was so nervous that he couldn't stop singing out of turn. The clappy member decided to leave the Clappy Trio with consent from his colleagues<ref>[[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven)#Leader's Notes|リーダーの手記]] (Leader's Notes), ''Rhythm Tengoku Gold''</ref> and take the chorus under his wing as their [[conductor]], but he claims to be just there to help them along as "They're the stars, and I try to stay out of their way."<ref>[[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven)#Leader's Notes|Leader's Notes]], ''Rhythm Heaven''</ref> | One day, one of the members saw another group nearby, a [[Chorus Kids|chorus]] that just couldn't get their act together, because the third member was so nervous that he couldn't stop singing out of turn.

*The sign during their performances usually says "Trio Timing!", but in some instances, the sign is altered. In Japanese, the sign reads "均等に３つ！" (Evenly 3!), which changes to "均等に４つ！" (Evenly 4!) when the fourth member appears. In the Japanese version of [[Citrus Remix]], the sign reads "均等に３円" (Evenly 3 yen) as part of the fruit stall, and in French, it changes from "Tous en rythme !" (All in rhythm!) to "100 % pur clap !" (100% pure clap!). In Korean, it similarly changes from "똑같이 3개!" (Evenly 3!) to "똑같이 3천원" (Evenly 3,000 won). It was localized as "Trio Timing" in English, and left unchanged from the normal sign in all other languages. The "!" also gets replaced with a cactus in [[The Snappy Trio]] and an orange in [[Citrus Remix]] in Japanese, English and Korean. | *The sign during their performances usually says "Trio Timing!", but in some instances, the sign is altered.

*The information given in the [[Rhythm Item]]s is generally consistent across languages, but some alter certain details. For example, the French version states the trio collected the money from their last 42 concerts as opposed to 18 gigs, and they specifically say they avoid wearing them while eating spaghetti bolognese to avoid getting them dirty | *The information given in the [[Rhythm Item]]s is generally consistent across languages, but some alter certain details.
