I was wondering if they came in "boxes" and with "inserts," carts such as the DK and Starfox Competition Carts.

The DKC comp cart came in a green Blockbuster style case, with a yellow insert. If that's what you're asking. :) Otherwise, the rest were loose carts.

Atlantis II had a box also. It was a normal Atlantis box with a white strip sticker that said Atlantis II on it.

Well yeah, I meant a plastic box here not a cardboard one ;)

As the copy I have of it came straight from someone who was given it as a prize for the competition (he was highest scorer at the shop he played at) then you can probably take it that the box in question (at least the one I have now) was included as part of the "set". I'm assuming he didn't get the box separately to put the cart and manual in, it would seem a bit... silly to hand them over loose.

Probably. The important part is that it most likely was used as the box for sending the cart to the winners :)

Either way, the European version has a manual and the US one definitely does not.
