According to [[Karl Koch]], Weezer's label initially approached the band with the idea of a greatest hits release. [[Rivers Cuomo]], who initially approved of the idea before changing his mind, is said to have subsequently designed the packaging himself. Released exclusively through Best Buy, ''Six Hits'' contains two songs from ''[[The Blue Album]]'', two songs from ''[[The Green Album]]'' and two songs from ''[[Make Believe]]''. The CD was free with the purchase of any Weezer album or ''[[Alone II]]'', but was later available for $9.99, and occasionally on sale for $5.99. The version of "[[Say It Ain't So]]" that appears on ''Six Hits'' is the [[1995]] remix version (which replaced the original mix on all versions of ''The Blue Album'' pressed since that year). Similarly, "[[Perfect Situation]]" is the full-length remixed single version (which is also now the standard LP version on pressings of ''Make Believe''), with the full intro guitar solo (as opposed to the remixed single edit). | According to [[Karl Koch]], Weezer's label initially approached the band with the idea of a greatest hits release{{citation needed}}.

A variant of the CD, released in Mexico, features unique packaging with illustrations by [[Manabu Akishige]], who previously wrote and illustrated the manga ''[[Go-On!]]'', wherein Weezer's [[The Blue Album|debut album]] is featured in the plot. The same illustrations were also used for the EP ''[[Troublemaker Remixes]]''. | A variant of the CD, released in Mexico, features unique packaging with illustrations by [[Manabu Akishige]], who previously wrote and illustrated the manga ''[[Go-On!]]'', wherein Weezer's [[The Blue Album|debut album]] is featured in the plot.
