In this game, the player controls the [[Martian]], whose mission is to translate what [[Farmer Bob]] is saying. This is done by repeating the pattern of [[Farmer Bob]]'s speech. The patterns have more complex rhythms than [[First Contact]].
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.

* When the Martian scientists are shown, the alien from [[Spaceball]] can be seen.

* When the Martian badly translates Earthling's language, his badly voice is a sped up version of the [[Wrestler]] when he does poses to the fans in [[Ringside]].
*One of [[Farmer Bob]]'s lines has him mention a woman's name. There are ten variations randomly selected for this part, being:
**"to Katherine..."
**"to Dorothy..."
**"to Jennifer..."

Second Contact
Fellow Martians, I've encountered an Earthling! I'm going to attempt to translate what it says.
In this game, the player controls the Martian, whose mission is to translate what Farmer Bob is saying. This is done by repeating the pattern of Farmer Bob's speech. The patterns have more complex rhythms than First Contact.
Perfect!/Ace!?: The Martian translates Farmer Bob's words properly. Farmer Bob nods. Mars Control is amazed.
Early!/Late!?: The Martian translates properly, but in a high-pitched voice.
Miss...?: The Martian fails to translate, and a red question-mark is displayed instead. If the player fails from the beginning, an alternate translation is given, which devolves into nonsense. Farmer Bob then shakes his head in disaproval. Mars Control falls asleep. Some lines change if the played messed up a translation before them.

What was that? We wait with bated breath! Didn't quite catch that--not sure we wanted to. Yikes?
Eh. Passable.
Yup, definitely heard you loud and clear... Even when things got awkward, you nailed it. We were feeling the love...unfortunately.
Everyone was surprised at how quickly we started a culinary exchange with Mars, but they shouldn't have been. Look at it! It's basically a space meatball!
