Junior Melchkin is only a temporary power-up in BIT.TRIP FATE. The only game with multiple playable characters in the series is BIT.TRIP RUNNER 2, though Junior Melchkin isn't one of them.

I believe the reason the silence in retro stages is an attempt to stay faithful to the Atari 2600 games in which music wasn't exactly a given. That doesn't make it any less jarring though.

Right, thanks for clearing that up. I never played FATE, or any other BIT.TRIP game so my knowledge is a bit limited. I bought Runner 2 yeaterday, though. I only beat the first world, but it definitely feels more polished than this one.

It's also much easier than RUNNER 1, as I managed to triple perfect the whole game (that is, beat all of the levels on all three difficulty levels) in 27 hours according to Steam. The only zone I have managed to perfect in RUNNER 1 is Zone 2, but god drat it I'm gonna go back and finish that one up as well.

...Someday.
