with the egg it's purpose is speed. So it goes fast.

Yeah, but the thing is, at least with the current level design, that hurts more than it helps. Especially since inertia is so high and slowing down takes so long. I pretty much always died immediately as an egg. I think having a high-speed character feel equally strong as the other two could work, but would probably need some more deliberate level design.
