They are some of the most recurring characters in the ''[[Rhythm Heaven Series]]''. | ||
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! We've got snappy new suits to wear and everything, but I think we should try to fit our wigs under the hats..." ~ [[Snappy Outfit]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>, and they wear blue suits with hats! Dare we say they look... snappy? | |||
==Story== | |||
The Clappy Trio made their debut long ago, and they have a surprisingly long artistic history. | |||
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>. | |||
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> | |||
In [[Remix 1 (GBA)|Remix 1]], [[Remix 7 (GBA)| | 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 the {{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, presumably to attract customers, in [[Citrus Remix]]. In [[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. | ||
