Main game

It obviously celebrates the ongoing 2021 Tokyo Olympic games but surprisingly furthers that event’s prominent video game theme by paying tribute to some of the most notable RPGs of the 8 and 16-bit eras. It casts you as a cat tasked with exploring Champion Island which consists of several Olympics-inspired minigames that are all relatively simple from a mechanical standpoint. You can lose a lot of your day completing its challenges and finding all the hidden objectives. The highlight of this Doodle is its incredible sense of style which brilliantly combines anime cutscenes with pixel art design concepts.
Beat all 7 sports
My thoughts:
A really fun tribute to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games! It takes about 30min to beat all 7 minigame sports, which also doesn't include the sidequests you can do. Sure the sports aren't refined, as I found the timing of the Synchronized Swimming DDR-styled game to be completely out of sync with the music. Even so, this is the highest effort Google front page doodle I've seen yet, with beautiful hand-drawn animations to come with it.
i would love to see google do more games based on current events lol
they are in an interesting position to inform/educate and entertain with such media.
The game is entertaining and has a good length. It is saved by cookies, so you can close the web browser and pick up where you left off.
Representation of the japanese culture on the occasion of the Tokyo 2020 olympic games. Enjoy playing mini-games based on 7 sports and do side missions to get the trophy collection.
