The Death Egg made its first appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, where it was a space station, which by the level select screen, can be seen as moon-shaped. It was the final level of the game, containing only the final two bosses. After Sonic defeated Dr. Robotnik, the Death Egg crash-landed onto the Angel Island.
In Sonic 3, Robotnik repaired the Death Egg and was about to launch it when Sonic arrived in the Launch Base Zone. Sonic quickly boarded the giant space station and defeated Dr. Robotnik, causing the space station's presumed destruction.
In Sonic & Knuckles (or Sonic 3 & Knuckles) the Death Egg falls out of the sky and lands in the volcano of Angel Island (otherwise known as the Floating Island) where Lava Reef Zone and Hidden Palace Zone were situated. In the end of the game, the Death Egg was launched again, using the power of the stolen Master Emerald. It then became a two-Act Zone playable by Sonic and/or Tails containing an Act 1 boss and three Act 2 bosses (including Tails' final boss). After defeating the final boss, the Death Egg was (presumably) destroyed.
In the arcade game Sonic Championship (Sonic the Fighters in Japan), Robotnik went to make the Death Egg II, which once again was home to the 2 last bosses. Although retaining the shape of the original death egg, it was different in the fact many pronged girders came off in different directions - these had no purpose. It was then destroyed (before completion like the Death Star II from Star Wars) and never heard of again.
In Sonic Advance 2 a space station similar to the Death Egg called the Egg Utopia appears. It is destroyed when the stage boss is defeated.
Later on, in Sonic Battle, Robotnik rebuilt the Death Egg for use of his "Final Egg Blaster". The final battle against Emerl was situated there. The game didn't tell what happened to it after Emerl was defeated by Sonic, but it was presumably destroyed.
The Dead Line Zone in Sonic Rush is similar to the Death Egg.
The Death Egg is a tribute to the Death Star, a space station in the Star Wars series.
