Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzō Abe, makes the most amazing Super Mario themed entrance to closing Olympic ceremony

With the Rio 2016 Olympics officially over with, it's time to set our sights on the 2020 Olympics! With the coming Summer Olympics set in Japan, Shinzō Abe, the Japanese Prime Minister, took to the closing ceremony in Rio to kick off the 2020 Olympics.

Of course, Japan couldn't simply attend the closing ceremony without showing off a bit of their pop culture. Hello Kitty, Pacman, bullet trains, Tokyo, sports, anime and Mario all made an appearance in the 2020 Olympics teaser, along with Prime Minister Shinzō Abe.

Shinzō Abe turned into Mario, which the NBC referenced to be a 'superhero', then popped out of the iconic green tube. The 2020 Olympics are already looking to be good.
