Can't believe I'm playing another Dora the Explorer game, but here we are.
Rainforest 1
When you start this level, you'll see the opening cutscene for the game. Dora and Boots are super spies for no real reason, apparently, and they are going on an important mission for Senor Tucan. You need to find all of Tico's lost blue and green crystals and bring them back to him for his super spy rocket car. Swiper, who is listening in, makes up his mind to get to the Nutty Forest before Dora and Boots do and swipe Tico's rocket car. Swiper then runs off, and Dora and Boots notice and realize that he is going for the rocket car and the crystals. They will have to get to Tico's workshop before Swiper does and warn him, and you have to help them. Senor Tucan gives Dora and Boots wristwatches that alert them to Swiper, as well as inner tubes that let them swim across ponds.
Left and Right let you move around. B jumps. L opens the inventory, and use can use the D-Pad to choose an item to equip. A uses the equipped item. If you need to run, you can hold R while moving. Pressing Select switches between showing the currently equipped item in the upper-right corner and showing how many crystals you've collected.
When you come across a briefcase, Swiper will try to get it first. You'll need to mash the A button and fill up the three bars to stop him from doing that. If you do, you'll get what's inside. If you don't, Swiper will take the briefcase, and you'll find it later in the level and you'll get to try again.
Inside the first briefcase are infrared goggles. When you are near a bush, you can press L to go to your inventory, then you can select the goggles and use them with A. Using the goggles makes the bush disappear, and you can see what is behind it.
If you are at an area where you need to use a gadget, you'll see a Backpack icon in one of the lower corners. Pressing B will take you to the inventory screen, where you'll need to pick the right gadget. Thankfully, there is sometimes a sign telling you what to use, while other times you'll have to figure it out on your own.
You can climb up and down ladders with Up and Down, but you cannot jump off of them as Dora.
There are three big green crystals in every stage. You'll need all three of them in order to open the exit. While there are three green crystals, there are more than three places in a stage where you can find a green crystal.
You can swim across ponds by landing in them. When you do, Dora will use her inner tube. If you stand still, you'll just be moved to the left. If you hold Right, you'll slowly move to the right. You can jump out of the water in case you want to take a ride on a turtle, which is faster.
Press Down to crouch, then hold Left or Right to crawl. To stand up again, just press Up. You'll need to do this to get through some small spaces.
There are some platforms that you cannot jump at the tree at the beginning. You'll need another gadget to get to them, and you won't get it until later. Thankfully, you can go back to earlier stages later in the game.
When you complete a stage, you'll get a password. Copy it down and keep it safe to keep track of your progress through the game.
Rainforest 2
There is a maze in the trees in the upper half of the level. Inside this maze, there is one blue crystal you won't be able to jump and grab because it is too high to jump to. You'll need another gadget to get it.
Rainforest 3
Once again, you'll need another gadget at the beginning to get what is above the start of the stage.
If you move past the sign with Boots' face on it, you will turn into Boots. You can press and hold Up to grab on vines and move across them, and crawling allows him to roll. You can also press A after jumping to do a double jump.
There is a door with a magnetic card reader that you won't be able to open yet, and that's because you won't be able to get the magnetic card yet. Once again, you'll have to come back to this stage.
