  • This is a stationary doll with a pink sleeveless shirt, lanky arms, and hands that are color-coded light-blue for Player 1 and orange for Player 2 (though this is meaningless in Rhythm Heaven Megamix). The doll's head resembles a Mannequin from Mannequin Kōjō.

    Story

    Clap Trap Doll stays in one spot, and blocks karate-chops from an "evil, giant hand"[1] aimed at its head. During the Endless Game, each hit results in a bump appearing on its head, and it can only take three hits before falling over. Its height is noted as 13.4cm (5.25") and weight as 235g (8 oz.). Its special skill is the breaststroke, and it believes that defense is the best form of attack[2][3].

    Although it normally sits stationary with an unreadable expression, the doll is shown to be very expressive throughout the course of the game, appearing satisfied when it successfully catches a chop, worried when a chop was caught to close for comfort, or taking a deep breath during a moment of silence.
