Billy Hatcher Gamecube Demo Disc LET'S PLAY - Fossil Arcade
21Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg was the only gamecube game to ever feature on a magazine cover in the UK, given away with the 136th Issue of Nintendo Official Magazine in January 2004.
Alex and Graeme test out one of the multiplayer modes and judge whether it would've been enough to sell them on Sonic Team's experimental new SEGA Franchise... Which has never received a sequel.

"Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg is a platform video game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Nintendo GameCube in 2003. It was ported to Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X in 2006, for release in Europe." - Billy Hatcher, WIkipedia
"The protagonist of this adventure is a quizzical lad from the human world. With the courage bestowed upon him by the Chicken god Menie-Funie, he embellishes the Legendary Chicken Suit and plunges into an admirable crusade to save Morning Land from eternal night.” - Timm Bogenn in Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg: Official Strategy Guide
"Billy Hatcher has a unique style of gameplay revolving around rolling large eggs. The player controls the hero, Billy, who cannot do much by himself aside from moving, jumping or using Helper Animals. However, he becomes a powerhouse once he finds an egg. While rolling an egg, Billy moves faster, is stronger and is more agile. He can also dash, throw and return the egg along the ground, slam the egg down from the air, and Billy can travel on rails and fly through NiGHTS styled rings.
The color-coded eggs themselves are another gameplay element. As Billy runs over fruit while holding an egg, the egg gets larger until it flashes and is ready to hatch. Then Billy can hatch the eggs, which can contain helper animals, character powerups, and extra lives. With variables such as egg size, helper animals, and personal powerups, Billy Hatcher can be played in many ways. Different animals can come out of the same eggs, and some creatures are vital to progressing through certain challenges.
"Players should be wary of their handling of the eggs, as they take damage when attacked by enemies or impact certain obstacles. The egg gauge in the lower right-hand corner of the screen begins to crack, as does the egg Billy wields. When the egg takes enough damage, it is destroyed and no bonus comes from it (as well as decreasing Hatch Scores at the end of the level). Eggs can also be 'lost', i.e. put into positions or situations that the player can not retrieve them from. In such cases, the egg will disappear from its position after several seconds of inactivity and will 'respawn' in its nest of origin. All work done to the egg, however, is lost. Some characters from other games appear in certain eggs, such a Sonic the Hedgehog or NiGHTS." - billyhatcher.fandom.com
"Sonic Team is a video game developer owned by the Japanese video game company Sega as part of its Sega CS Research and Development No. 2 division. Sonic Team is best known for the long-running Sonic the Hedgehog series and games such as Nights into Dreams and Phantasy Star Online." - Sonic Team, Wikipedia
