Lufia & The Fortress of Doom, the first entry in the series, is a Dragon Quest clone with very little to make it stand out other than its large (perhaps too large) sprawling dungeons and huge array of usable items.
Sub-Page#
Unused Warp Point#
Data exists for a warp point for a location called "Macao", which just places you in the mountains near Linze. In the Japanese version, however, it warps you out somewhere in the ocean (not sure if this is due to something in RAM or plot advancing or what yet).
There are several other unused warps: a blank one before Alekia, and two Elfrea spots, one of which also teleports you to the Macao location.
Unused Items#

This needs some investigation. |
Pro Action Replay (PAR) codes 7E1507?? 7E150801 (JP) or 7E14F7?? 7E14F801 (US) will replace the first item in your item list with one of the below.

If this is used it's probably dropped by an enemy? Needs research. |

No effect. Gives the "You can't use it here." message, no matter what. Same deal in the JP version, so whatever functionality it had was removed. |

Interestingly, the Silver Tarot and Royal Statue are listed alongside the Ancient Cave items. You get these two items, which have no other use, in the basement of Herat castle alongside the final piece of Alumina.

Seven unused spells exist. Pro Action Replay (PAR) code 7E15C0?? (JP) or 7E15B0?? (US) will change Lufia's second spell slot.

Lowers enemy DFP. |
Lowers enemy AGI instead. Affects one monster group. A spell is used by the "Spellsnail" enemy called "Spew" ("Neneki wo Haita" [ねねきをはいた] in the JP version) that has a similar effect. |

Confuses monsters. |
Confuses one monster group. |

Paraiz |

Destroys weak monsters. |
Paralyzes one monster group. Possibly seen as redundant, as a target-all-enemies sleep spell is learned by the protagonist and Lufia. |

In Forfeit, you encounter two girls who won't let you leave the shop unless you buy something. Much like in the prequel, they were originally in bunny girl costumes.
