Not sure if this was posted somewhere but it's not often we get numbers beyond "uhhhh its rare, so 10,000". It's cool to have a barometer of real production numbers compared to how rare something "feels".

Sonic Heroes Super Monkey Ball Duo Pack - 7500
Super Monkey Ball 2-Pack - 14819
Sonic Adventure 2-pack - 10800
Pure Evil 2-pack - 12600

Nice eye.  I love that it seems "authentic" to have some information, but I question those numbers a bit.  The Pure Evil is relatively common compared to the rest, I'm highly skeptical more Super Monkey balls were printed than it.  You also think that Sonic would have printed more than Super Monkey Ball... Sonic was much more of a bread winner wasn't it?

Perhaps, but then aren't these collections regular disks inside new packaging? Is it possible that they had too many Monkey Ball disks leftover, so they repackaged them in double packs?

This is where it started and might provide more insight

Not saying that the data is right, but at that point in Sonic’s lifespan, he was struggling and Super Monkey Ball was doing very well from my standpoint. Knew lots of people playing Monkey Ball and no one playing Sonic.
