'''''Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg''''' is a video game for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] that was developed by [[Sonic Team]] and published by [[SEGA]] on September 23, 2003 in North America.
 
 
 
==Story==
 
"Morning Land is a peaceful realm inhabited by chickens. One day, a terrible fate befell the land. Black Crows empowered by a mysterious magic appeared as ferocious monsters bent on keeping the world in eternal night. The Chicken Elders whose voices bring dawn each day were captured and sealed within golden eggs. Without their morning cries, the world will remain engulfed in darkness and human hearts will be consumed by evil. Now, only young Billy Hatcher and his friends can defeat the Crows, release the elders and return morning to the world."

==Trivia==
 
The 4 characters playable in the multi player games are based off 4 of the main [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] characters - Billy is [[Sonic]], Chick Poacher is [[Tails]], [[Bantam Scrambled]] is [[Knuckles]] and [[Rolly Roll]] is [[Amy]]. The Hatcher characters use similar colours and copy poses - Billy on the boxart is in the same pose Sonic has in some of the [[Sonic Adventure 2]] artwork (see below vs the boxart).

Sonic Characters are also used as animal friends. They are found in Sonic Eggs, or Silver Eggs with the [[Sonic Team]] Logo. They are unlocked in Single player by finding all the coins in every world. They can be found in Multiplayer right away as can all eggs, but they are quite rare. The Sega Characters used are:
 
 
 
*[[Sonic]]
 
*[[Tails]]
 
*[[Knuckles]]
 
*[[Chao]]
 
*[[Nights]]
 
*[[Chu Chu Rocket]]
 
*[[Amigo]]
 
*[[Rappy]]
