'''Second Contact''' (かえってきた 通訳者 Kaettekita Tsuyakusha "Return of Interpreter") is the 46th minigame and it's a sequel to [[First Contact]] in [[Rhythm Heaven Megamix|''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]].
The short version, [[First Contact]], appears in [[Citrus Land]].

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. 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.

Due to this, some fans call First Contact the "real" game, despite Second Contact having the "Return of" title in the Japanese name (which refers to the "true" games in ''The Best Plus'') & being in Left-Hand Remix.

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 disapproval. Mars Control falls asleep. Some lines change if the played messed up a translation before them.

Eh. Passable.
