In this action platformer from the creators of Sonic the Hedgehog, Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg (ジャイアントエッグ~ビリー・ハッチャーの大冒険~ Jaianto Eggu: Birī Hacchā no Daibouken) puts players in control of the clucky title character, Billy Hatcher, as they try to bring light back to his now darkened home world. To do so, he must free a bunch of elders that are trapped inside golden chicken eggs. The idea is to find these and other eggs and roll them around the sprawling levels, smash enemies and collect fruit until they are ready to hatch, and then hatch them to bring a small, friendly animal into this world. Billy can hatch penguins, seals, and other creatures and command them to help him on his quest.

Problems

Lighting Glitch

At a certain camera angles, animated models, such as the player, are lit properly as opposed to how they mostly show up, which is too dark. Setting to OpenGL fixes this problem.

Missing Letters

Some dialogs may have missing characters if Accurate Texture Cache is not in the Safest position.

Dark Puddles Not Clearing

In the final level and boss, the dark puddles don't appear to clear if Accurate Texture Cache is not set to Safe.

Configuration

Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.
