{{Nihongo|The Clappy Trio|パチパチ三人衆|Pachi Pachi Sanninshu}}, who have also gone by the name {{Nihongo|The Snappy Trio|バリバリ三人衆|Bari Bari Sanninshū}} and many others<ref name="chara">[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/brij/chara/stage01.html キャラクターアルバム ステージ１] (Character Album Stage 1)</ref>, are a group of 3 lions<ref>"It's a giant leap for lion-kind!" ~ [[Launch Party]] [[OK]] epilogue, ''[[Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise]]''</ref> wearing red afros who appeared in [[The Clappy Trio 2|The Clappy Trio]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. They are some of the most recurring characters in the ''[[Rhythm Heaven Series]]''.

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! Sadly, she moved and never saw us wear them. I wonder how she's doing..." ~ [[Fluffy Wig]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>. 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. We could only afford one for each of us, so don't spill anything on them!" ~ [[White Suit]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>

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...) ~ [[Snappy Outfit|ウェスタンな服]] (Western Clothes), ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]''</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 キャラクターアルバム ステージ６] (Character Album Stage 6)</ref>.

*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<ref>"Le cachet de nos 42 concerts précédents est parti dans ces nouveaux costumes hyper-classe. Du coup, on évite de les porter quand on mange des spaghettis bolognaise..." (The cachet of our previous 42 concerts has gone in these new hyper-class costumes. So we avoid wearing them when we eat spaghetti bolognese...) ~ [[White Suit|Costume immaculé]] (Immaculate costume), ''[[Rhythm Paradise Megamix]]''</ref>.
