Now why isn’t this on Stadia
The Tokyo 2020 Olympics kicked off last week, and, as with many worldly events,Google have made a lovely Doodleon their homescreen to celebrate. It’s not just a pretty picture though, it’s a full game complete with an adorable anime-style opening. Named theGoogle DoodleChampion Games, you play as a little cat who competes in lots of sports-themed minigames. Naturally, speedrunners are beasting through the Doodle, and one person has already managed to complete one minigame in just 11 seconds.

I feel like you should absolutely not try launching yourself up a wall like this in your local gym. Especially not if the handholds are wiggling all over the place.
This isn’t the first Google Doodle to be speedrun either. There are loads of categories for past Google games on speedrun.com, including2016’s Halloween Magic Cat Academy(which involved killing ghosts as a witchy kitty) and2019’s Fourth Of July(a cute baseball game).
