Cavalcadence plays Cadence 9: Green Bat #2 (Hardcore Mode)
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... Update #14 came out a couple days ago, so I tried out the new character (Eli) a bit. Still haven't gotten the hang of him, but he seems interesting (Eli has no weapons, but does have infinite kickable bombs).
Anyway, after that I went back to Cadence, to work on my HCM (Hardcore Mode) Speedruns. I didn't have much luck, as far as Speedrunning... but then this happened.
My second Green Bat. =)
Interestingly, I encountered the Green Bat on the very first level (Zone 1, Level 1)... in the very first room I entered!
Of course this means, just like with the first Green Bat I encountered, the only weapon I had... was a dagger. =p I did manage to defeat it, though, so I'm now two-thirds of the way to the Bat Trick! =)
Anyway, even though this was an embarrassingly short run, I'm uploading the video anyway, since it's such a rare enemy, and there don't seem to be many Green Bat videos on youtube currently. Try not to laugh too much at how quickly the run ends. =)
The Green Bat was encountered (Zone 1, Level 1) at around: 0:10
The Zone 1 mini-boss I encountered during this run was:
- Green Dragon.
Some notes and possible points of interest:
0:07 Zone 1, Level 1
0:10 Green Bat encountered!
0:19 Green Bat defeated!
1:25 Trapped a Bat with a Barrel (not on purpose, but I thought it was amusing)
1:50 Mini-boss: Green Dragon
1:53 HCM run ends! (Killed by: Green Dragon) (The combination of the Wraith and the Monkey is what did me in... mostly because I actually didn't notice the Monkey for two beats, because it was kind of hiding behind and mostly obscured by the HUD Heart. =p Plus, I was a little bit distracted because I was still kind of thinking about the Green Bat. =) )
Oh, and before anybody points it out, I do know that you can turn off the HUD Heart in the Options, but this is actually the first time in many many hours of gameplay that it's caused a problem, so... at least for now, I'll probably just leave it on. =)
