Google is celebrating the 114th birthday of Eiji Tsuburaya today with a unique Doodle that not only chronicles his contributions to the film industry, but it’s done across a series of mini-games that fans of Tokusatsu films, such as Ultraman and Godzilla, can enjoy.

The mini-games featured in today’s Google Doodle has players assisting in making a Tokusatsu film by taking part in a number of activities. Players will need to apply glue to a building miniature, dress an actor in a large lizard costume, and give the set proper lighting. There’s a total of 10 mini-games to take part in, which players can then share via email, Google+, Facebook, and Twitter if they’re particularly proud of their work.

We reviewed a game that pays homage to the popular Tokusatsu television series, Saban’s Power Rangers, which took much of its footage from the Japanese live-action show, Super Sentai. Chroma Squad does a great job of not only giving players a behind-the-scenes look at how a Tokusatsu is created, but it’s also a great strategy RPG fans of these kinds of films should check out.

To check out today’s Doodle, as well as learn more about Eiji Tsuburaya’s incredible work, head on over to today’s Google Doodle page.
