{{Nihongo|The Chorus Kids|コーラスメン|Chorus Men}} are three children in a choir together in [[Glee Club 2|Glee Club]]. They are led by the {{Nihongo|Conductor|リーダー|Leader}}, who is a lion in all white clothes, except for his red tie, and who sports a white afro and a conductor's baton, similar to a [[The Clappy Trio (characters)|Clappy Trio]] member.
==Story==
One day, while the [[The Clappy Trio (characters)|Clappy Trio]] was performing on a street corner, one of the members saw another group nearby, a 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>[[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>[[Leader's Notes]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''</ref>
 
The Chorus Kids have been observed to perform in a variety of locations, such a [[Glee Club 2|featureless white plain]], [[Glee Club 2 (DS)|the beach]], a [[Remix 9 (DS)|spaceship]], at [[Rock 'n' Roll Hall]] during the [[Battle of the Bands]], and a [[Machine Remix|factory]]. One Chorus Kid appears in [[Munchy Monk (Wii)|Munchy Monk]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', where the [[Munchy Monk (character)|titular monk]] is seen training by feeding him on a moving train. The conductor is [[Supporting Cast 1|described]] as a [[Racing Fans|Racing Fan]], although the [[The Clappy Trio (characters)|The Clappy Trio]] are the ones seen forming a crowd in [[Freeze Frame]].
 
The Chorus Kids appear in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic]]'' in [[Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic#02 リーダーの想いの巻き (Leader's Notes by Maki)|02 リーダーの想いの巻き]] (Leader's Notes by Maki), which shows the third Chorus Kid struggling to sing correctly, while the conductor tells him not to worry about his failures, as he has experienced the same thing [[The Clappy Trio (characters)|before]], and advises him to keep calm and listen for the other two. They try singing again. This time, the third sings correctly, and the Chorus Kids celebrate. In [[Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic#09 にぎやかでおだやかな夜の巻き (A lively and peaceful night by Maki)|09 にぎやかでおだやかな夜の巻き]] (A lively and peaceful night by Maki), the Chorus Kids are seen singing [[wikipedia:Christmas carol|Christmas carols]] on TV.


The {{Nihongo|'''Chorus Kids'''|コーラスメン|Chorus Men}} are three children in a choir together. They appear in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' in ''[[Glee Club 2|Glee Club]]''.
They also appear in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic]]'', first in [[Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic#01 同窓会 (Reunion)|01 同窓会]] (Reunion) where they join the reunion at the [[Café]], and in [[Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic#29発声練習 (Vocalization Practice)|29発声練習]] (Vocalization Practice), where a Chorus Kid is trying to sing, but ends up singing too loud, turning the attention of the nearby [[Beary]], [[Bearbara]] and a [[Lumbercats|Lumbercat]].
==Physical Appearance==
The Chrous Kids are completely white, short kids with big heads and big eyes. They have smiles on their faces, sharp teeth, and black bowties. They have long arms and white tongues.
==Story==
The Chorus Kids are led by their [[The Conductor|conductor]], but it wasn't always that way. The Chorus Kids were found performing on the street near [[The Clappy Trio (characters)|the Clappy Trio]]. One member of [[the Clappy Trio (characters)|the Clappy Trio]] was amazed by their performance, but the third one kept singing out of tune out of pure nervousness. The trio member felt something he couldn't describe, so he decided to leave [[the Clappy Trio (characters)|the Clappy Trio]] and lead the Chorus Kids. They're the stars; [[The Conductor|the conductor]] tries to stay out of their way.
==Purpose==
The Chorus Kids appear in the second game in [[Rhythm Heaven]]: [[Glee Club 2|Glee Club]]. They teach the player about holding the stylus and releasing at the right time, similarly to [[Fillbots]]. In [[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]], they do the same but with the A button.

==Trivia==
*A Chorus Kid was used as the [[wikipedia:Favicon|favicon]] on the [https://web.archive.org/web/20090430112724/http://www.rhythmheaven.com/ Official Site] for ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''.
*While the Conductor is a former member of the [[The Clappy Trio (characters)|Clappy Trio]], he seems to be missing the tail that members of the trio are shown to have. This is further exemplified in [[Glee Club 2 (DS)|Glee Club 2]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', where he appears in a swimsuit, and still lacks a visible tail.
*During the [[Glee Club 2|Glee Club]] Song in the [[Guitar Lessons]], [[J.J. Rocker]] at one point wonders why the Glee Club conductor never moves. While he does stand completely still in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', a new cue was added in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', which has the conductor waving his baton to signal to the Chorus Kids when to stop in unison.
*The Conductor uses his baton to scratch his back and to eat with. The Chorus Kids seem to be disgusted by this, but say they would do the same if they had a baton<ref>"I wish he wouldn't scratch his back and eat with his baton... Of course, I'd probably do the same if I had one. The conductor carries a heavy burden." ~ [[Baton]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>.
*The information given in the [[Rhythm Item]]s is generally consistent across languages, but some alter certain details. For example, the Japanese and Korean versions say the Conductor uses his baton to eat snacks he dropped on the floor<ref>"せなかがカユイからって、首の後ろからあのぼうをツッコむの、やめてほしい！あと、おやつをゆかにおっことしちゃったからって、あのぼうをつかってひろうのも、やめてほしい！ボクも、あのべんりなぼうがほしい！" (Don't use that stick to scratch your itchy back! And stop using this stick to pick up the snack you dropped on the floor! Actually, I want this convenient stick too!) ~ [[Baton|タクト]] (Tact), ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]''</ref>, while the French version says he also uses the baton as a toothpick and that he likes to eat sushi<ref name="French">"Je préfèrerais que mon chef de chorale arrête de s'en servir comme cure-dent, comme gratte-dos ou pour manger ses sushis... On trouve parfois de ces trucs collés dessus..." (I'd rather my choirmaster stop using it as a toothpick, as a back scratcher or to eat his sushi... We sometimes find this stuff stuck on it...) ~ [[Baton|Baguette d'orchestre]] (Orchestral baton), ''[[Rhythm Paradise Megamix]]'' (French)</ref>. This detail goes along with the added detail that [[The Clappy Trio (characters)|the Clappy Trio]] likes to eat spaghetti bolognese<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]]'' (French)</ref>.
*The Chorus Kids make a cameo in ''[[mariowiki:Game & Wario|Game & Wario]]'' during the intro sequence, singing alongside [[Sal Out]] on [[mariowiki:Wario|Wario]]'s TV.
*They appear again in the intro sequence to ''[[mariowiki:WarioWare: Move It!|WarioWare: Move It!]]'', again on a TV<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/jp/switch/a9qea/index.html 超おどる メイド イン ワリオ | Nintendo Switch | 任天堂] (Super Dance Made in Wario | Nintendo Switch | Nintendo)</ref>.
*There was a [[ssbwiki:Gematsu leaks|widely spread leak]] that claimed that the Chorus Kids would become playable characters in ''[[ssbwiki:Super Smash Bros. 4|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/for Wii U]]''. Even though the leak predicted 9 out of 11 characters correctly, the Chorus Kids didn't join the playable roster, meaning that either that part of the leak was false, or the Chorus Kids were scrapped during development.

    • The Chorus Kids (コーラスメン?, Chorus Men) are three children in a choir together in Glee Club. They are led by the Conductor (リーダー?, Leader), who is a lion in all white clothes, except for his red tie, and who sports a white afro and a conductor's baton, similar to a Clappy Trio member.

    Story

    One day, while the Clappy Trio was performing on a street corner, one of the members saw another group nearby, a 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[1] 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."[2]

    The Chorus Kids have been observed to perform in a variety of locations, such a featureless white plain, the beach, a spaceship, at Rock 'n' Roll Hall during the Battle of the Bands, and a factory. One Chorus Kid appears in Munchy Monk in Rhythm Heaven Fever, where the titular monk is seen training by feeding him on a moving train. The conductor is described as a Racing Fan, although the The Clappy Trio are the ones seen forming a crowd in Freeze Frame.

    The Chorus Kids appear in Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic in 02 リーダーの想いの巻き (Leader's Notes by Maki), which shows the third Chorus Kid struggling to sing correctly, while the conductor tells him not to worry about his failures, as he has experienced the same thing before, and advises him to keep calm and listen for the other two. They try singing again. This time, the third sings correctly, and the Chorus Kids celebrate. In 09 にぎやかでおだやかな夜の巻き (A lively and peaceful night by Maki), the Chorus Kids are seen singing Christmas carols on TV.

    They also appear in Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic, first in 01 同窓会 (Reunion) where they join the reunion at the Café, and in 29発声練習 (Vocalization Practice), where a Chorus Kid is trying to sing, but ends up singing too loud, turning the attention of the nearby Beary, Bearbara and a Lumbercat.

    In Super Smash Bros.

    The Chorus Kids appear in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS as a trophy in the "Other" category, and as a spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Although they don't appear directly in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the trophy for Marshal, Cam, and Miss Ribbon mentions them.

    Their spirit battle takes place on the Wii Fit Studio stage playing the Monkey Watch track, where they are represented by three differently-sized Jigglypuff wearing Leaf's hat. The battle has the following conditions:

    • The enemy favors up specials
    • The enemy is giant
    • The enemy has increased attack power

    From the right: Cam, Marshal, and Miss Ribbon. Cam is quiet and looks like a thinker, but his mind is actually a blank slate. Marshal looks cute and can be relied upon. Miss Ribbon looks innocent but is really quite stubborn. Some think these guys are related to the Chorus Kids from the previous Rhythm Heaven.
    The white one is Matt, the blue one's Cam, and the pink one's Miss Ribbon. Matt looks like a dreamer, but he's pretty down-to-earth.

    Trivia

    • A Chorus Kid was used as the favicon on the Official Site for Rhythm Heaven.
    • While the Conductor is a former member of the Clappy Trio, he seems to be missing the tail that members of the trio are shown to have. This is further exemplified in Glee Club 2 in Rhythm Heaven, where he appears in a swimsuit, and still lacks a visible tail.
    • During the Glee Club Song in the Guitar Lessons, J.J. Rocker at one point wonders why the Glee Club conductor never moves. While he does stand completely still in Rhythm Heaven, a new cue was added in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, which has the conductor waving his baton to signal to the Chorus Kids when to stop in unison.
    • The Conductor uses his baton to scratch his back and to eat with. The Chorus Kids seem to be disgusted by this, but say they would do the same if they had a baton[3].
    • The information given in the Rhythm Items is generally consistent across languages, but some alter certain details. For example, the Japanese and Korean versions say the Conductor uses his baton to eat snacks he dropped on the floor[4], while the French version says he also uses the baton as a toothpick and that he likes to eat sushi[5]. This detail goes along with the added detail that the Clappy Trio likes to eat spaghetti bolognese[6].
    • The Chorus Kids make a cameo in Game & Wario during the intro sequence, singing alongside Sal Out on Wario's TV.
    • They appear again in the intro sequence to WarioWare: Move It!, again on a TV[7].
    • There was a widely spread leak that claimed that the Chorus Kids would become playable characters in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/for Wii U. Even though the leak predicted 9 out of 11 characters correctly, the Chorus Kids didn't join the playable roster, meaning that either that part of the leak was false, or the Chorus Kids were scrapped during development.
