Roy & Alma are the two protagonists of the 1998 arcade game Magical Truck Adventure.

In Reality[edit | edit source]

Roy is a simple boy lazing around on a grassy hillside when he sees how a portal opens in front of him. Out come Alma, as well as the two villains Mommy and Marrow. The latter two promptly apprehend the girl and attempt to steal her magical stone, only for the gem to activate and send all four of them into an alternate dimension. With the villains taking the stone, Roy decides to help Alma, and the two give chase on a magical train truck.

Much as Roy and Alma must pump the handle of the truck up and down to keep it moving, the player must pump the handle attached to the arcade machine up and down to play the game (as well as performing a few special moves). This makes Magical Truck adventure a game that is as fun as it is taxing on the arms in the long run.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

Roy & Alma effectively work like The Cheetahmen in that both switch after every match - if Roy wins the first match, Alma will fight in the second, Roy does the third, and so on. This was showcased during 8chanmania LIX - it was Roy who first preventing Wario's attempts of stealing Alma's stone via one of the rare ring-outs, and subsequently Alma who fell to a submission hold and was put to bed by Pillowdin.

Their second attempt at 8chanmania XL was much shorter - Roy tried to outrace the Hornet 41, but although their magical truck can go fast, a dedicated racing car invariably proved faster.

Their first and last chance to actually fight side-by-side arrived in 8chanmania XCVIII, where they formed one of the tag teams. Their diligent pumping and cranking allowed them a well-deserved victory against Cheshire Cat and Neco-Arc, but did not match the rhythm of Buane and Disco Hitler.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Roy and Alma both use the same stats and indeed are one and the same fighter edit. The only difference between them is that both use their own skin.
