The Return of the Skateboarder!

Anybody who's played the original TMNT arcade game should recall the chica on a skateboard, who would duck and scream if you attacked her, giving you a bonus point.

I was searching for the apparently-not-bootleg skateboard toy on Google (see the bootleg topic in the Toys forum if you care about that), when I came across an article apparently detailing how she makes a cameo appearance in Konami's Contra Rebirth on Wii. The only of the Rebirth series I currently own is Castlevania, so I've not had the opportunity to see this directly, myself.

That's a bit weird. Does anybody think it's a coincidence rather than just an homage to a memorable moment in one of Konami's earlier games?
