It seems that after the successes of Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Sega Superstars Tennis, Konami have decided to vastly outnumber the original characters in the new Track & Field game on the DS with characters borrowed from their previous games. Sparkster (Rocket Knight Adventures) and Pyramid Head (Silent Hill) were announced as characters in the game a while ago, but now many others have joined them.
Most relevant to this forum are Solid Snake (MetalGear, duh) and Pentarou (Penguin Adventure, and a bunch of non-Kojima games), but there's also Frogger (Frogger), Evil Rose (Rumble Roses), Simon Belmont (Castlevania) and five other currently unannounced characters. I wouldn't imagine Gillian Seed or Dingo Egret will be one of those secrets, but feel free to keep your fanboyish hopes up for them.
