Tokyo will be the next city to host the Summer Olympics in 2020, so at the Rio closing ceremonies, there was a hand off of Olympic responsibilities to Japan, and they chose two national icons to accept the challenge.

In a video that first showed athletes in Tokyo, the focus soon went to everyone's favorite Nintendo hero, Mario.

But as he pops out of the green pipe in real life in Rio, he magically transforms into Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe!
