Jump: Izzy's Adventure

Izzy sighed as she reclined in her hammock, gazing at the moonlit sky.
If only she could reach the beautiful, harmonious moon...
BOING!
Her cell phone beeped, and she picked up off the ground.
She looked at her IMs, and saw an advertisement IMed to her.
It said:
Hey there Jammers!
Discover the wonders of the moon tomorrow at noon! 
Come to the Coral Canyons bridge, where we'll be hosting a great adventure!
Kangaroos only!
Izzy read it over several times, bewildered by the strange advertisement. Included with the IM was a picture of a smiling kangaroo, jumping on a cloud with a joey pet on his shoulder.
"How cheesy," she said aloud. "and yet intriguing."
She set down her cell phone, and leaned back in her hammock, underneath her looming treehouse's branches. After some gazing at the moon apathetically, with no animosity towards it, Izzy fell asleep.

At noon the next day, Izzy and a crowd of other intrigued kangaroos (their cell phones beeping time and time again as they were continuously bombarded with news and countdown updates) were gathered on the Coral Canyons bridge, yet they were not hopping to break it at all.
The eagles below them huffed with relief.
Soon, they saw a kangaroo come out of the nearby Jump Headquarters, made out of wood and recently built (not the kangaroo, the HQ). He had a mustache, a brown complexion, and a yellow top hat.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! BOYS AND GIRLS! I PRESENT YOU WITH..."
He pointed at gravity-resistant stones rising out of the earth, along with springs, gems and artificial phantoms. The crowd went "ooooh".
"THE JUMP OBSTACLE COURSE!"
Much clapping came from the crowd.
"Jump to the moon to discover its great beauty, by jumping off each platform and avoiding obstacles while winning HUNDREDS OF GEMS! Your gem pouch and other normal Jamming items will be kept in SECURE SAFES, and all gems earned can be transferred to your balance!"
More oohs.
"LEADERBOARDS so that you can see your buddy's high scores, and to compete against their score!"
A board resembling the Jamaa Township board rose from the ground, and almost everyone gasped. Everyone but Izzy, who was looking at the moon with desire.
"All safety guaranteed, and if you DO GET HURT, we pay for ALL MEDICAL EXPENSES!"
Lots of oohs.
"JUST 1,999 GEMS FOR A LIFELONG PASS TO OUR JUMP OBSTACLE COURSES!"
Izzy stayed behind, knowing of the mob about to sweep unto Jump, and watched as more and more kangaroos were propelled upwards, and some fell down (but were immediately cushioned by cotton spread over the ground.)
Suddenly, she looked up at the sky, and although the sun's rays blocked the view of the moon, Izzy imagined that the moon was beckoning to her in the heavens, calling for her to fulfill her dreams.
Noticing Izzy was the only straggler, the Jump HQ salesman hopped over to Izzy and tugged her army.
"Ma'am, this is a wonderful adventure for the docile and the brave! Nobody is overzealous when playing Jump! Now, come one, are you playing or not?"
Izzy winked at the moon, dug out some dough from her leather gem pouch, and hopped over to the platforms.
