Cavalcadence plays Monk 6: Monk loves gooooooold! (All Zones 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 on a relatively recent Monk run, I ended up with a little over 5700 gold... which got me thinking "You know, that's pretty close to 6000..." ^_^
For those of you who don't know, the "I love gooooooold!" achievement is unlocked when you get 6000 gold. And while I'd already gotten the achievement quite a while back with either Cadence or Bard (it's relatively simple if you can get the Crown of Greed fairly early and keep your coin multiplier high (especially during the Boss battles!))... the thought of the character who can't touch gold getting the "I love gooooooold!" achievement... amused me a bit. Well, maybe more than a bit. ^^
So I decided to try for an actual score run with Monk... and after quite a number of failed attempts... this run happened. And though it started out slow, and I definitely made some mistakes along the way... somehow, it all worked out. =)
Anyway, I had a lot of fun recording this, so I hope you'll enjoy it too!
The mini-bosses and bosses I encountered during this run were:
Zone 1: Minotaur, Gray Direbat, Gray Minotaur, and Deep Blues 1.
Zone 2: Red Dragon, Green Banshee, Gray Direbat, and Coral Riff 2.
Zone 3: Gray Direbat, Gray Miniotaur, Blood Nightmare, and King Conga 3.
Zone 4: Ogre, Green Banshee, Blue Dragon, and Death Metal 4.
Some notes and possible points of interest:
0:07 Zone 1, Level 1
1:46 Well that was a huge waste of time. =/
2:03 Mini-boss: Minotaur
2:28 Ack, Blood Shovel! ^^;
2:35 Luminous Torch!
2:46 Not enough time to get to the 1-1 shop, or even clear the rest of the enemies... not the start I was hoping for. =/
2:48 Zone 1, Level 2
3:04 Blast Helm!
3:27 Winged Boots!
4:17 Mini-boss: Gray Direbat
4:42 ...oh wait, I'm already at half a heart, so I can basically use the Shrine of Blood for free! =)
4:45 Blood Longsword!
5:26 Zone 1, Level 3
5:48 Mini-boss: Gray Minotaur
6:08 Monocle!
6:35 Obsidian Bow! Hmm, only one kill away from full health, though, so let's do that first!
6:42 Obsidian Bow! ^_^
7:09 Heart Container!
7:41 Zone 1, Boss: Deep Blues 1
8:01 First coin multiplier lost, first damage taken (Pawn), other than from the Blood Shovel and Blood Shop. Ack, this means that I can't get max gold from this Boss battle. This score run definitely isn't starting as planned. =p
8:12 Zone 2, Level 1
8:38 Ring of Might!
8:50 Protection Charm!
9:02 Mini-boss: Red Dragon
9:17 Ack forgot about the Leprechaun... and all the Leprechaun gold I could've gotten... ah well. ^^;
10:20 Gluttony Charm, Drumstick, and Empty Heart Container!
10:31 Obsidian Shovel!
10:42 Zone 2, Level 2
11:16 Mini-boss: Green Banshee

15:33 Flawless Victory!
15:42 Reward: Bomb Spell!
15:44 Zone 3, Level 1
16:08 Ring of Mana!
17:01 Oops! Realized a moment too late where that gold was going to drop. ^^;
17:04 Mini-boss: Gray Direbat
17:19 There's still some time before the song ends... might as well go back and bomb some more of the shop walls. ^^
18:10 Zone 3, Level 2
18:56 Plate Armor!
19:28 Mini-boss: Gray Minotaur

28:22 Mini-boss: Green Banshee
29:08 Zone 4, Level 3
29:41 Crown of Thorns!
30:15 Mini-boss: Blue Dragon
31:01 A blademaster, a confuse mage, and a pixie... yeah, this seems like a good time to use the Shield Spell. ^^;
31:30 Zone 4, Boss: Death Metal 4
31:38 Whoops. =p Paying too much attention to the teleport mages and not enough to the walls. ^^;
32:12 My first ever 6000+ gold Monk victory! =)
