Cavalcadence plays Melody 2: All Zones Mode (first 4-Zone win!), Ending (Melody), & Credits
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, the main NecroDancer story is a three-part story (Cadence, Melody, Aria), and Melody's story is the middle part.
I'm comfortable enough with Melody's playstyle that I decided to try an All Zones Mode run with her. IMO Melody's a fun character to play, and she's actually pretty powerful, once you get the hang of her attack style. Anyway, after a little practice (I haven't played Melody in a while), I finally managed to get my first ever 4-Zone All Zones Mode win! And here it is! =)
Oh, and as you may have heard by now, Crypt of the NecroDancer actually has three in-game soundtracks (Danny B's original soundtrack, A_Rival's EDM remix, and FamilyJules7X's metal remix), and in the Options, you can select which one you want for each charcter. Melody defaults to A_Rival's EDM remix, so if anybody's curious, that's what you'll be hearing in this video. =)
The Zone 1 mini-bosses and boss I encountered during this run were:
- Direbat, Red Dragon, Gray Minotaur, and Death Metal 1.
The Zone 2 mini-bosses and boss I encountered during this run were:
- Gray Direbat, Red Dragon, Gray Minotaur, and Coral Riff 2.
The Zone 3 mini-bosses and boss I encountered during this run were:
- Nightmare, Green Banshee, Blood Nightmare, and King Conga 3.
The Zone 4 mini-bosses and bosses I encountered during this run were:
- The Mommy, Red Dragon, Green Banshee, and The NecroDancer 2.

2:06 Mini-boss: Direbat
2:53 Compass!
3:21 Potion!
3:25 Since I was fairly certain I wouldn't make it back to the exit in time, I decided to stand on the extra Apple to see if it came along to the next Level via the Trapdoor. As expected, it didn't. =)
3:29 First coin multiplier lost (missed beat).

8:37 Frost Charm shattered! I wasn't intending to do this, but it actually resulted in a quick and easy victory! =)
8:41 Flawless Victory!
8:48 Reward for Flawless Victory: Heavy Plate (yes, that'll definitely help!)
8:51 Zone 1 Cutscene 2 (Melody)
9:16 Zone 2, Level 1
10:48 Not sure what happened here (accidentally hit 2 keys)
11:13 Aha, more cheese to replace the one I accidentally ate! =)
11:36 Mini-boss: Gray Direbat
11:53 Zone 2, Level 2
12:12 First damage taken (mole). Whoops, tried to attack it directly! Too used to playing Cadence, I guess. =p
12:15 Mini-boss: Red Dragon
12:48 Map!
13:25 Winged Boots! These turn out to be quite a bit more useful than I thought they'd be, especially in Zone 4!
13:46 Zone 2, Level 3
14:04 Empty Heart Container and a Monocle!
14:17 Mini-boss: Gray Minotaur
15:07 Zone 2, Boss: Coral Riff 2
15:42 Flawless Victory!
15:55 Zone 2 Cutscene (Melody)
16:15 Zone 3, Level 1

28:14 Mini-boss: Green Banshee
28:54 Zone 4 Cutscene 1 (Melody)
29:33 Zone 4, Boss: The NecroDancer 2: Return of The NecroDancer. Overall, this isn't too difficult a battle for Melody (especially if you've obtained some extra hearts and some decent armor), but this is actually my second time attempting this battle. The first time I got to this battle, I played a more conservative style, took too long, and the walls closed in on me. =p Anyway, this time went a lot better. =)
30:27 "Yeah!"
30:29 Zone 4 Cutscene 2: Ending (Melody)
