Everybody, whoever uses the Internet, definitely interacted with Google. Nowadays, Google provides various services. But when it was started. Its basic functionality was just a search engine. Where people come and search the web for the information they required. After the initial start from a basic search, now Google also has done some experiments to entertain its users.
Google provides some games like Google Snake, Google Guitar, Pac-man, etc. to entertain its user. When the user has some spare time, he/she can play Google Games. “Do a Barrel Roll” or “Z or R twice” is a trick to entertain its user by Google. By using this Google Barrel Roll trick, Google provides search results on the Spinning web page. This means the user screen will start spinning while loading the search result page. Depending on your browser, if it worked perfectly, the browser should have rolled over clockwise, as if it’s performing a barrel roll. You’ll get the same effect if you search “z or r twice” in Google. It has a reference to a classic Nintendo game, why?
The word is often associated with the Nintendo 64 game Star Fox. The Series of Star Fox starred pilot Fox McCloud and his team members as they defend the Lyla system. The game for Super Nintendo allowed defending team to do the barrel roll by double tapping the L or R buttons. Peppy Hare, one of the Game characters, would tell the player to “Do a Barrel Roll” with a text displayed on the screen.
Google Barrel Roll
Google adopted the same “Barrel Roll” trick used in Nintendo 64 game Star Fox. But this trick only works when you search for do a barrel roll or Z or R twice means ZZ or RR query in Google. This will rotate the whole page by 360 degrees. It will bring you joy for approximately 5 seconds. If some player is using a Motorcycle, it will perform a Tilt Jump instead.
