We go through a nice, short level in order to obtain the Yellow Gem, then we go all over the place in the study.
Level 3: The Storm
The music is pretty good here. Feels more like a stop-gap level, though. Nevertheless, it's pretty fun.
Drop down the first pit and go through the left wall. You'll find a bag of marbles as well as some white gems. From there, go up and follow the main path.
The bridges will fall away when you land on them, as well as some of the platforms on the pit walls. The fish will jump out of the water to dive into you.
After a while, you'll have to swim in water in some of the pits in order to make your way to the end of the first section. If you take the top path all the way to the end before doing that, you'll find two Stars.
For the second section, you're in some sort of temple. Make your way to the right end of the temple, and avoid the waterfalls so you don't get knocked into the bottomless pit. Take your time with the platforms, as some of them are just big enough for you to stand on and you can slide off if you move carelessly. As long as Mickey's foot lands on the platform on his way down, you'll be fine.
In the third section, you'll have to deal with water that rises and sinks every so often. You do not want to fall into it, as the water will eat away at your health. Just time your movement so that you can trek to the right when the water starts sinking.
The boss is an ancient statue that shoots out fish men. When the fish men jump out, hit them with a marble to send them flying into the statue, destroying whatever is at the bottom and lowering the head of the statue. Once you defeat the statue head, you'll get the Yellow Gem.
Level 4: The Library
You're back to apples for the throwing objects.
The red A's (which makes me think of The Scarlet Letter) jump over you when you get close enough. If you try to jump on them when you approach them, you will take damage. The maggots just move slowly back and forth.
When you enter the milk bottle, you'll enter a world of milk rivers, cakes and candy. Swedish Fish will jump in and out of the river, and the bridges will fall away as you put your weight on them much like those in the last level.
The floating cake platforms will help you get over the milk river. One misplaced jump will be instant death if you fall to the bottom.
The vanilla wafer platforms go in a circle. At least you can't drown in the milk river by simply standing on them.
When you reach the end of this section, you'll get the Green Gem. From here, go back and make your way up. After you swing to the left (and turn off the lights as you go), keep going left so you aren't dropped back down to the start. The blue books on the ceiling will crush you, but if you fall into the gap and duck down, you shouldn't have any problems.
You'll come across a tea cup. Jump in and swim to the end, avoiding the sugar cubes that block your path. You'll then be able to continue with the rest of the level. If you go up before going into the tea cup, you can replenish one of your hit points with a Star. When you leave the tea cup area, the Star will re-spawn.
Instead of going down the slope when you see the giant apple, go straight to the right instead to find a star. Keep going right and jump down when you see the books. There will be a passage leading to two stars and a bag of apples.
Go back to the slope. Since you're to the right of it on the way back, the apple will automatically roll down before you can come close to approaching it. Go down the slope and enter the tea cup. Again, make your way to the end. When you get out, go to the right.
The boss is a red dragon that flies around. Stay away from him and pelt him with apples. If he goes straight for you at platform level, butt stomp his head. As long as you're able to fight him from a distance, fighting him will be a bit easier.
When you beat the dragon, you'll get the Blue Gem.
