Space Umpire

The Space Umpire (スペースアンパイア) is a green alien in a flying saucer. He appears in the Spaceball minigame in Rhythm Tengoku and Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

Backstory
The Space Umpire sits in the UFO in the back during Spaceball. He’s the referee and because there’s only one player, no one objects to his decisions. He’s always seen smiling. . In Lush Remix, he introduces the player to the remix, and is later hit by the batter at the end.

Cameos
The Space Umpire makes a lot of cameo appearances in the series. In the Endless Game Shoot-'Em-Up, several aliens appear during one set of waves in the background. In Remix 9, he appears the epilogues. On the Try Again one, several UFOs with Space Umpires appear chasing Play-Yan's ship away, while in the Superb epilogue, a single one watches Play-Yan "make first contant fun" with the Alien Bunnies from afar. In Wake-Up Caller, the Space Umpire is occasionally seen through the window. In First Contact, the alien's UFO can be seen floating in space in the OK epilogue. In Charging Chicken he appears in the background when the player gets really far. In Second Contact, he appears as part of the Martian Mission Control, still smiling even when the Martian messes up.
