Martian
The Martian (火星人?, Kasei Hito) is an alien from Mars that appears alongside with Translator Tom (通訳者?, Tsūyakusha)[1] in First Contact and alongside with Farmer Bob in long version Second Contact in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
Story
The Martian is almost always seen with a big smile on its face, and appears to be very friendly, as it is friends with both Translator Tom and Farmer Bob as seen in the OK and Superb epilogue screens. Its message to Earth is also very friendly in tone. The Martian does have a more cheeky/mischievous side, as it jokes about pork rice bowls in its message, and pretends to not understand Tibby in a comic when asked about a pork rice bowl it promised him.[2]
Martian appears in Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic 33レスラーとファン (Wrestler and Fans) for the Wrestler Fan Photo Session.

Trivia
- There's a martian that can be found in Game & Wario that looks very similar to towards this martian by its basic shape.
- Even more similar aliens appear in the epilogue screens of Spaceball.
- The Martian has some sort of device called a telemopathic lingualyzer, allowing its messages to be accurately translated as long as the translator has good rhythm.
- According to an official comic, the Martian eventually masters Earthling language.[3]
- Translator Tom's name seems to be a reference to the song "Space Oddity", created by David Bowie in 1969, more specifically the song's lyric "Ground control to Major Tom".
