Billy's Friends[]
- Rolly Roll - A light-hearted and carefree girl. She always tries to help others who are in trouble, but can sometimes be a bit scatter-brained.
- Chick Poacher - Chick may look small, but his spirit is strong, giving him a misplaced air of superiority. He has a tendency to act before thinking, which always makes his friends a little nervous.
- Bantam Scrambled - The heavy and powerful friend of Billy, Rolly, and Chick. Bantam is a gentle giant and only uses his strength to look after his friends. Despite his rough outward appearance, he adores cuteness and hates injustice.
Appearances In Other Media[]
- Billy Hatcher later had a minigame in the Eyetoy game Sega Superstars for the PlayStation 2.
- He also made an appearance in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity as an unlockable character.
- He is also a playable character in the racing game, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing.
- Later Billy and his friends appeared in the Archie Comics crossover event Worlds Unite, where they defeated Wind Crowrang after he invaded Forest Village.
Trivia[]
- Like the other protagonists, Billy's surname, "Hatcher" is a pun on eggs (as birds are born by hatching from eggs). It could also be a nod to how the player constantly hatches eggs during gameplay.
- Billy is the only one of the four protagonists whose first name is not also a pun. This was probably done intentionally to give the character a catchy name that didn't sound too ridiculous.
- Although, in real life, "Billy" is a given name for chickens.
- Billy is the only one of the four protagonists whose first name is not also a pun. This was probably done intentionally to give the character a catchy name that didn't sound too ridiculous.
- His character strongly resembles that of Sonic The Hedgehog. In fact, if you look at the box art of Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg and Sonic Adventure 2, you will see that Billy's pose is very similar to Sonic's.
- Billy Hatcher was created by Yuji Naka, the same creator of Sonic The Hedgehog.
- The opening cutscene of the game implies that Billy, along with Rolly, Chick, and Bantam were bird watchers (with particular fondness for chickens) before being appointed as defenders of Morning Land.
- Interestingly enough, Billy does not appear at all in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed, yet Rolly, Chick, and Bantam do make cameo appearances. He was supposed to appear in the game as a playable character, but was cut in development as a vehicle couldn't be designed for him.
- Billy seems to have a problem with timekeeping as in the introduction he realizes he is late and hurries to meet his friends. And upon arrival they explain he is late and seem annoyed with him.
- Coincidentally, he shares the same name with a former Major League Baseball player.
