playing "MM: Matthew Smith 2008 Remix", which I played after
completing "JSW64: Flash Manic Miner". There are no extra lives in
the latter game. Sorry for alarming you unnecessarily!

and, IIRC, I did it the same way in "MM MS 2008 R". But I was forced
to go back after collecting the uppermost item, so my return route
was clockwise. Your remark now makes me wonder whether it wouldn't
have been more efficient to go clockwise all the way (if that's
possible).
"Processing Plant" (is the name the same in the Remix?) is one of
the rooms where I had to correct my route a couple of times, because
I didn't look and think ahead.
