Is there a patch to disable star lives?

I don't like how the star gives Mario too many lives when he consumes too many sprites with it.
Here is a code you can paste into an empty ASM file and patch it with Asar.
Thanks for the code, although I don't mind if Mario gets 1 extra life but I don't want him to keep getting them after just one.

Is there a way to change that?
Also, I have noticed that this patch does not wirk with custom sprites, if you have a star, you collect a 1-up when hitting a custom sprite.

I guess this is because some of them have their own Mario interaction. In that case the only solution is to directly modify the asm code of all the custom sprites, which could be more or less complicated depending on the sprite code (if it's commented or uncommented, etc).
Adding to Darolac's point.

It really all depends on whether you want to make a lot more for yourself or not. If you feel that you're knowledgeable enough with sprite code that you'd be able to modify the coding for each individual custom sprite so they don't give you 1-ups with stars then go for it. If not, then I would remove the custom sprites from the star's path.
