First Contact (通訳者?, Tsūyaku-sha) is the 4th Rhythm Game of Citrus Land (13th overall) in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
The long version, Second Contact, appears in Citrus Tower.
Gameplay[]
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.
Controls[]
- Ⓐ or ✚/Tap: Translate
Timing Display[]
- 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.

Trivia[]
- The Space Umpire makes a cameo in the OK epilogue.
- The results caption "Ground Control to Translator Tom" is a reference to the song Space Oddity by the late David Bowie, specifically the lyrics "Ground Control to Major Tom".
- Ground Control makes an appearance in the opening cutsene to Intro Games in WarioWare: Get It Together!, where they are startled after a giant Wario nose passes by one of their sattelites. A glitchier version of this cutscene is used for Anything Goes, which includes the Traveller from an unrelated cutscene among the crew. In the movie Roll Credits, the researchers are given names: Doc, Kevin, Richard, Adam, Zach, Thomas, Furukawa, and Chuck[1].
