CommanderVideo

Commander Video is the Bit.Trip series' mascot, and the protagonist in the Bit.Trip saga.

He is a black pixelated character with a visor like eye, who leaves a rainbow like trail as he runs. His abilities vary depending on the game; in Beat the player controls the Commander in the form of a paddle, a throwback to the Pong series, Core features Commander Video stopping oncoming beats from the center of the screen by shooting in four different directions, Void portrays the character as a pixelated black circle collecting small black beats to grow larger whilst avoiding the white ones, in Runner he can jump, slide and kick his way past obstacles, whilst he can shoot in Fate, and Flux represents the series coming full circle, with a return to Beats gameplay style.

He appears as a playable character in Super Meat Boy, where he has the ability to hover in mid-air, and in Retro City Rampage as a character in a mini-game reminiscent of Runners gameplay, as well as in 1001 Spikes. Commander Video will also appear in the upcoming game UFHO2 as a playable character.

In addition, Commander Video is also included as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
