Not gonna lie, Donald's specific section is harder than Mickey's.

In the third level, you'll be using the Control Pad in conjunction with the jump button, which you'll need to press repeatedly, to swim. You won't be able to attack while underwater, so your best bet is to avoid enemies at all costs, especially the small black sea urchins on the floors and ceilings.

If you see a wall of bubbles, there will be a clam nearby. Face away from the clam in order to get the clam to approach you. It will stop at the wall of bubbles and neutralize it.

You'll soon enter a cave. When you try to crawl inside, however, Donald won't fit. You'll be forced to go back, and when you do, you'll be rocket upwards out of the water. From here, you'll need to jump from island to island while also jumping on inner tubes and fighting fish. Some of the inner tube platforms will deflate and sink into the water when you land on them. Some of these platforms move, and others still will be shot into the air so you can land on top of the palm trees. The cans spin, but you can stand on them without worrying about being spun off into the water.

The blue card gives you temporary invincibility when you grab it, and it will be really useful here, since you'll need to jump off the very edge of the inner tube platforms to make some of the jumps. You'll eventually be able to cast a spell that takes you back underwater and to the sunken ship.

Aside from the starfish, you'll have to dodge some tridents. Some will drop down when you get under them; others will drop down a tad sooner. You'll also have sawfish coming out of the floor. They are like swordfish, but their bills are saws. Hit them when they pop up, and go slowly when you hear them pop up.

You'll have to run across the narrow area near the end to avoid drowning in the water that fills the corridor up.

The boss here is a shark. The shark is harmless when you only see its fin, but when it surfaces and comes after you, that is when you want to attack and avoid. After a second pass where you can only see its fin, the shark will dive down, leap at you and then chase after you for a second again. You can hit it while it is in the air.

You'll then learn how to teleport to another box. When you head left after this, you'll be sucked out of the water and you'll end up in an over-sized library.
