The Sonic Adventure 2 10th Anniversary Birthday Pack is a special collectible edition release of Sonic Adventure 2 which was sold only in Japan, and only on June 23rd and 24th in 2001 (the Blue Blur’s birthday).
Celebrating Sonic’s 10th anniversary, the special edition contains a number of items which cannot be found anywhere else. These include a gold Sonic 10th Birthday coin, a small history booklet, and a beautiful golden music CD featuring a greatest hits track list from Sonic’s first ten years of games. These three collectible items come packed in a beautiful blue trifold display box, which accompanies a copy of Sonic Adventure 2 for the Sega Dreamcast, all packed in a vibrant outer box that’s covered in artwork of the characters from Sonic Adventure 2.
I’ll cover Sonic Adventure 2 on its own game page (soon). This article is specifically focused on the collectible items which are only found in this release of SA2.
For the coin and booklet, see the photos below. For the full soundtrack, see my YouTube video embedded below and enjoy the tunes.
