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.

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!

Sadly, she moved and never saw us wear them. I wonder how she's doing..." ~ Rhythm Item description for [[The Clappy Trio]], ''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.

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.

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 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]]</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.

In [[Remix 1 (GBA)|Remix 1]], [[Remix 7 (GBA)|Remix 7]] and [[Extra Remix]] [[File:TempoUpExtra6.png|72px]], the trio appears with a fourth member at one point, with the sign changed accordingly. In [[Pachi Pachi Sanninshu Tempo Up!|Pachi Pachi Sanninshu]] [[File:TempoUpExtra5.png|72px]], the trio appear to be preparing for a space mission. In the Epilogues, they either get left behind (Try Again), cruise around in space (OK) or discover a new planet (Superb). The trio are racing fans, and can be seen as part of the crowd in [[Freeze Frame]]. They go on another space mission to "find where rhythm comes from" in [[Launch Party]]. One member, dubbed {{Nihongo|'''Driver'''|ドライバー|Doraibā}}, drives the [[Toy Car]]. A poster for the Clappy Trio can be seen in [[Catchy Tune]]. The Clappy Trio have also been seen performing in front of a fruit stall, preusmably to attract customers, in [[Citrus Remix]]. In [[Challenge Land#Wario...Where? 2: The Sequel|Wario...Where? 2: The Sequel]], one of the members appears to have been replaced by [[Jimmy T.]] It is unclear when these events occur in relation to the general story. | In [[Remix 1 (GBA)|Remix 1]], [[Remix 7 (GBA)|Remix 7]] and [[Extra Remix]] [[File:TempoUpExtra6.png|72px]], the trio appears with a fourth member at one point, with the sign changed accordingly.

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 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.
