Here's something that will please a tiny proportion of our already micro-sized community:
It's the Japanese manual for Flicky. It comes from Sonic Mega Collection. It seems Sega couldn't locate the Mega Drive original and so had to use the manual from a Mega-CD compilation called Sega Games Can Vol.1 (which is a surprise as I didn't know Flicky was released on the CD attachment).

I've put together a full dump of all the graphical assets from the Japanese Sonic Mega Collection. Virtually everything has been seen before, although there are some new items such as the manual for the Ooze (which is completely eccentric).

I had no idea this existed either. Good find! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7NUR_HM8MY

Here's a colour version of the artwork, from the Wondermega Collection release.

I don't think the Mega Drive version of Flicky was ever released in Japan prior to Sonic Mega Collection.

Flicky was on the Sega Net Work System in Japan, an online network service for the Mega Drive: http://sega.jp/fb/segahard/md/modem_t.html

It was later released as a cartridge game in North America and Europe.

Interesting! That explains the absence of a manual.

So it was essentially Japan's Sega Channel?
