Did you get two triple star cards in a row? Hopefully you won't have any issues with lives now! I get what you mean about some of the sprites being very "pixelated" in this world, especially the larger ones. Unfortunately, this game was designed to be played in 4x3 on a CRT TV and those visuals don't always translate well to an LCD widescreen. Ah, the pains of retro gaming. Having said that, I've found that even just squashing a recording down to 4x3 goes a long way towards making it look nicer.
