Google Doodle has come up with a new doodle on Friday to celebrate the opening of the Tokyo Olympics 2020 games. This time, the tech giant has launched an innovative and animated Doodle Champion Island Games. It has seven mini-games, legendary opponents, and dozens of daring side quests.

The seven games represented in the Olympics doodle include table tennis, skateboarding, archery, rugby, swimming, climbing, and marathon.

The doodle was created by the Japanese animation company Studio 4°C. Take a look.

This interactive doodle will let users play the games as a fictional character Lucky, the Ninja Cat on behalf of four teams – Blue, Red, Yellow, Green – with a real-time global leaderboard.

Users can take part in the Olympic event-themed 16-bit games and contribute their scores to one of four teams, which will be tracked by Google.
