Second Contact

"Fellow Martians, I've encountered an Earthling! I'm going to attempt to translate what it says. (No practice.)"

- Second Contact Description Second Contact (かえってきた通訳者 Kaettekita Tsuyakusha "Return of Interpreter") is the 46th minigame and it's s sequel to First Contact in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. The point of the game is to translate what is being said to the rhythm. It is similar to First Contact. In this game, the player controls a Martian translating a human named Farmer Bob.

Gameplay


Second Contact's gameplay focuses on repeating a pattern by hitting the A button or directional pad. The Farmer Bob will start by speaking to a rhythm represented by a symbol (a picture of a person) and then give the Martian a cue to repeat that same rhythm, translating the symbols to words. It is also played  the same way like in prequel, but this time it's more complex and a bit tricky having symbols appearing really fast to hit.

Button Mode

 * A or D-Pad: Translate

Simple Tap Mode

 * Tap: Translate

Timing Notes

 * Hit: Proper translation of Bob's words occurs.


 * Barely: The Martian translate Farmer Bob's words in a high-pitched voice. A barely counts as a miss.


 * Miss: A question-mark is displayed over the failed section, and the rest of the sentence is not translated. If a sentence is missed from the beginning, dialogue from the "Bad dialog" section appears instead, making Farmer Bob look sad.

Rating Notes

 * Try Again: "Tell me again what a "verb" is...?"
 * OK: "Friendship."
 * Superb: "Welcome to Mars!"

Skill Star
The Skill Star for this game can be collected when the human says "...Ladies!"

Trivia

 * When the Martian scientists are shown, the alien from Spaceball can be seen.
 * When the Martian badly translates the Earthling's language, his badly voice is a sped up version of the Wrestler when he does poses to the fans in Ringside.
