Get Asch in your party permanently
In the OverWorld, when there is no loading occurring, open the disc tray and remove the game disc, then shut the disc tray. Without the game disc, you can go anywhere in the OverWorld. Once you got to the desired spot, open the disc tray and put game disc back in, then close the disc tray. You can get Asch on the Albiorl and leave Luke forever in the Mushroom Road with this trick. Note: You will lose Luke if you do this.
