Have you ever seen any? Do you have a photo? Or you mean this one? I mean the Chinese one, meaning HK. I've certainly seen it. A few games were released for the SMS in Hong Kong, including the lengendary HK SMS. Incredibly hard to find. Go to the hardware database we have here and click on the Hong Kong SMS link. I had a chance at one once, but since I couldn't actually use it here decided against purchasing it. www.smstributes.co.uk/allhardware.asp

The Alex Kidd box above is a Korean bootleg. Hong Kong SMS was just just the standard PAL model in an English box, same as the games (except Mah-Jong). Hong Kong region code was "07" and used "PAL-I". The SMS linked to above was for China, region code "15" and used "PAL_D". It's unusual as it's a PAL model (No FM, Rapid Fire, or 3D adapter port), but with a Japanese cartridge slot. It must have a different bios in order to run Japanese games, it's probably the model that Bios 2.0 was intended for before they included Hang On built in. www.smspower.org/forums/9642-MasterSystemMahJongMakJongVariations#77892blogs.yahoo.co.jp/rig_veda/56747243.htmlWKK who manufactured SMS in China and distributed it in Hong Kong also had a consumer business in China where they distributed the SMSII with Alex Kidd built in. That came with a manual in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, and Japanese. www.smspower.org/forums/6802-AsianSegaMasterSystemIIThe only non built-in Chinese language Alex Kidd in Miracle World that I'm aware of is the Taiwanese Aaronix release. Aaronix released the SG-1000II and later the Mark III in Taiwan, the SG-1000 seems to have done ok there, but Mark III not so well, as only the earliest games were released there, and unlike Japan, it didn't get re-released as the SMS there. They're the same design as Japanese (and early Korean) games.

Portuguese manual, probably from the built-in version.

So, the Chinese (Hong Kong) AKIMW that Stan talks about has a standard English box cover? There's no actual difference with a PAL release? The Alex Kidd box above is a Korean bootleg. I know, it's mine. I have both official Korean and bootleg. Portuguese manual, probably from the built-in version. Yes, this must be from built-in version of SMSII: olx.pt/anuncio/master-system-com-manuais-IDyc6sh.htmlAnd there's a blue shade manual from cartridge version that needs to be added to our Portuguese release list:

Here's an AKIMW from HK; I don't know what version Stan talked about, maybe the Taiwanese version I posted above? Nice to own those Korean versions Here's the Swedish manual; TecToy Brazilian variants, and Argentinian manual (built in version).

Thank you bkk for clearing that up. I also think only Mah-Jong should have a different HK cover. Would you mind sharing some photos of your two Korean variants mate? I don't have them here, but will post when I have a chance. You can see my scan of the official cover on SMSPower.

As far as I know, the hamburger version was only released as console built-in game.

Here's a tasty treat from Brazil, not a game, of course, but you could only get this if you purchased six games.

For some reason Ariolasoft imported a lot of US games and gave them cheap black and white German instructions. They come with a yellow sticker on the front "with German instructions".

I don't have a picture of the back of that one, generally they're Sega of America/Tonka ones, but some are strangely PAL versions with both PAL and German manuals ... not sure why as the PAL manual already has German. Maybe they had a mix of PAL and US games and whoever added the German manuals and yellow sticker didn't know the difference.
