Did you use Noesis to rip those stages?
Noesis doesn't render/rip maps properly, they may not have the right textures, and the maps use a shader rather than the shadeless method normal models use.
The best way I know of ripping maps is using 3D ripper DX + Yaz0rs model viewer.
Although, doing it with Noesis is way easier, so you can stick with that if you want. ;0
The Destiny Islands you ripped actually looks fairly adequate compared to the usual Noesis rips, so don't worry about that.
