Yeah, which is something I'm not thrilled about either, as I think Master System packaging was generally cheap and ugly, and I don't even associate the series with the Master System because I've played most of them on the PC Engine, including this particular game, as those versions are far superior to the crummy Master System versions. Are all Master System manuals black and white? It's been a long time since I've cracked open one of my SMS games, so I can't even remember if any are in color or not. Plus my Master System collection isn't huge to begin with. Either way, I don't think they should've held back on the finer details of the CE just to adhere to SMS standards.
