{{Nihongo|First Contact|<ruby>通訳者<rt>つうやくしゃ</rt></ruby>|Tsūyaku-sha}} is the 4th [[Rhythm Game]] of [[Citrus Land]] (13th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
A longer variant later appears in Citrus Tower under the title [[Second Contact]].
== Gameplay ==
As is expected, the gameplay is around translating what the Martian says. This is done by hitting the button in the same way that the Martian shows, as the alien will say something in a beat, and you must match said beat to translate him properly.
The long version, [[Second Contact]], appears in [[Citrus Tower]].

First Contact
Mission control, we encountered a Martian! I'm going to attempt to translate what it says.
In this game, the player controls Translator Tom, whose mission is to translate what the Martian is saying. This is done by repeating the pattern of the Martian's speech.
Perfect!/Ace!?: Translator Tom translates the Martian's words properly. The Martian nods. Ground Control is amazed.
Early!/Late!?: Translator Tom translates properly, but in a high-pitched voice.
Miss...?: Translator Tom fails to translate, and a red question-mark is displayed instead. If the player fails from the beginning, an alternate translation is given, which makes the Martian look bad. The Martian then shakes their head in disaproval. Ground Control falls asleep. Some lines change if the played messed up a translation before them.

Erm, we couldn't quite make that out... Who what now? Our new friend looks...dissatisfied.
Eh. Passable.
You've bridged the gap between Earth and Mars! We even caught the mumbly bits. They like pork rice bowls? Hey, WE like those too!
Some Earthling astronauts left this delicious dish behind when they visited Mars. Everyone here loved it! I hear that there's a pork-rice-bowl restaurant opening here next month!
