Google's Doodle Champion Island Games is here, inspired by Tokyo Olympics

Search engine giant Google has introduced an interactive doodle on the official opening of Tokyo Olympics on Friday. The interactive doodle will let users play a series of games for the Doodle Champion Island Games.

The central character of the doodle, Lucky, will explore various games of the fantasy world over the next two weeks, inspired by the Tokyo Games.

"Over the coming weeks, join calico (c) athlete Lucky as she explores Doodle Champion Island... Her ultimate goal? Defeat each sport Champion to collect all seven sacred scrolls—and complete extra hidden challenges across Champion Island in the purrr-ocess," the doodle website stated.

The game presents a 16-bit adventure set within the game world of Champion Island. Once you push the button to play, you will have to pick a colour for Lucky cat (your game character). Find the "champions" of each sport, challenge them to minigames and climb up on the leaderboard.

The doodle will feature seven sport mini-games, opponents, dozens of side quests, and a few friends. The minigames include table tennis, rugby, running, swimming, and climbing.

Users get to pick one of the four color teams to contribute to the real-time global leaderboard with the mascots - Team Blue | Ushi, Team Red | Karasu, Team Yellow | Inari, and Team Green | Kappa.

The creative Doodle has been made in partnership with Tokyo-based animation studio, STUDIO 4°C. The introductory 53-second video shows Lucky travelling from far to attend the Games in a quest to achieve the seven scrolls. There are several animated cutscenes between the games and side quests.
