Currently finishing the past with a lot of missable stuff:
Racing the kid in Alvanista (Past)
Easy on PSX, nearly impossible on SNES. Blocking doesn't help since you don't know his path.
I just beat him with the walk thru walls code, since you will be able to pass through the walls at the start every time and get extra time. Just make sure to stay behind the trees and to not pass through the walls when circling around at the west end. If you hear a sound effect, the lap is void and you can just restart.
Although it's hardly worth the effort, as 3 of the 4 prizes are worthless (Longsword, Ice Scimitar, Beef). You can sell the fourth prize (Cat's Eyes) for 300k in Ninja Village (future), but in the end, it's just money. The max. amount of wins is 3, after that the kid won't race you anymore.
The two most hidden techs for Cless
Valhalla Snowfield (sold for 50k) / Beladum Weapon Store (secret passage).
As far as I can see, the latter one can also be obtained from a drawer in Miguel. The guy from the snowfield might also be around in the future, but I'm not 100% sure.
Nancy & Elwyn
At one point you have to tell Doug (Elwyn's father) about their whereabouts, then go to the top right house in Alvanista and help them.
Don't worry about the answer "No", you can just try again as much as you like if you misclick.
It doesn't go further than them being both in Venezzia and talking about their marriage. In the remakes (GBA, PSX), you can see them actually getting married.
You can also fail this sidequest by not talking to Nancy in Harmel or not advancing the quest far enough to a certain point, since Demitel will destroy the village later in the game.
Once I'm done with this era, I will continue with my ripping.
