Can you earn extra lives within the levels?

Yes! Collecting 120 or more of red crystals (the rubies) in one playthrough rewards you with a new life bonus, and you sometimes find secret treasures or chests hidden which could even grant extra lives upon discovery. Use your magical abilities also wisely: finding more apples might lead you deeper past the typical end platform.

Am I able to save progress, or is password provided for Master System?

The Castle for Master System does NOT have a battery save, nor does it require typical checkpoint codes after completing each world - players start from the beginning unless they can leave the console on. So players should strive to finish playthroughs entirely without shutting power down.
