Cavalcadence plays Cadence 22: 29-Feb-2016 (Daily Challenge)
For anybody who's interested in custom Cadences (or other characters), the official NecroDancer FAQ has some info about creating custom characters, and even has a link to the pinned thread on the official forums, where people have posted some of their custom creations:

So I realized recently that not only have I not played the Daily Challenge in quite a while... but I've also never uploaded a 4-Zone Daily! ^^; I was also somewhat curious as to whether some sort of rare event might happen on the rarest day (February 29th) of our modern calendar... so I decided to record the February 29th (Leap Day) Daily Challenge. =)
There didn't seem to be anything unusual about the Leap Day seed (no Green Bat or other rare event)... but for the first time ever, I did get a Flawless Victory against all five Bosses... so maybe there was a bit of Leap Day luck after all. =)
Anyway, here's the video... hope you enjoy!
The mini-bosses and bosses I encountered during this run were:
Zone 1: Minotaur, Gray Direbat, Gray Minotaur, and King Conga 1.
Zone 2: Banshee, Gray Minotaur, Red Dragon, and Coral Riff 2.
Zone 3: Gray Minotaur, Blue Dragon, Gray Minotaur, and Death Metal 3.
Zone 4: Blood Nightmare, The Mommy, Ogre, Dead Ringer, and The NecroDancer.
