During the Paralympics, Google Doodle featured a variety of games on an animated Champion Island. Since the commencement of the Paralympics, Google Doodle has released a number of animated games which included archery, tennis, swimming, shooting, table tennis as well as the marathon. A Tokyo-based animation company, STUDIO4°C had previously created the games for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. The games are quite the same this time as during the Tokyo Olympics, but with a few small updates, and modifications are done to keep things fresh for fans. To play those games, one has to open the Chrome browser and click on the Google doodle to enjoy the adventures in the game. 

The game had several missions and extra levels. One can even see what is the next adventure for ‘Lucky the Ninja Cat’ if one collects all of the scrolls in the mission. These were some of the coolest features added. As per the statement from the official page of Google Doodle, the Champion Island Games had been on an incredible journey, and it has now come to an end. It further thanked all those who had participated from across the world in the game and created history.
