Timing Notes
Hit: The player claps on the beat and the trio smiles.
Barely: The player will clap, but a quiet "tick" sound will be heard. A barely counts as a hit in Tengoku and Fever, but it counts as a miss in Megamix.
Miss: The player claps off beat while the other 2 glare at the third one.
According to "Leader's Notes" in Rhythm Heaven, one of the members in The Clappy Trio had left the group to teach The Chorus Kids how to sing right in Glee Club.
The base style of the game was adapted to Rhythm Heaven'sGlee Club and Splashdown, as well as Rhythm Heaven Fever'sBoard Meeting.
The Clappy Trio are some of the few characters that appear in every game.
Along with the rest of the first set, this game has a new version in the arcade version at 150% speed, with a more vibrant synth for orchestration and different graphics.
This game appears in the "Wario...Where? 2: The Sequel" Challenge Train. In this version, the third member which the player controls is replaced by Jimmy T.
In the international version of Rhythm Heaven Fever, the sign uses the sparkles from the Japanese sign to dot the lowercase 'i's. In the international version of Megamix, the sparkles disappear completely.
