Things to note for routing:
Remember to mix and match!
Like Nach said the first and second halves are interchangeable.
Just posting to tell that the progress is looking nice and I'm always eager to see more =). Keep up the work!
Level 11...not really much route variety, as it's just going between four corners (probably want to do a Z pattern?). This is the first level that requires real maneuvering behind secret passages, but I've modified Ilari's Jetpack script to display a "dummy" where the jetpack guy is, it should make moving around not incredibly frustrating.
For the first two routes, where there's a zig zag around four gems in the center of the screen, some mini testing needs to be done to see if zig zag, or some other collection method is faster.
For the first, if the Trackbot can be manipulated to lower the blue barrier, you could fly around the left side instead, after collecting the last gem in the main area, for a slightly shorter route.Here's a full video of levels 0-9. With non-glitchy sound! Whoa! Link to video
Note the blue ground switch in the level, it might be possible to skip toggling the barrier yourself if you can get lucky with the trackbot.

Did you test starting off by grabbing the gem below you instead of on the way back? Or does the missile get in the way? When getting the gem in the lower right corner, did you test taking the ladder to the right of it back?
Getting it on the way back by phasing the wall next to it would have been way faster, but the spring gets perfectly in the way.
What about if you bust the 3 blocks from above as in my diagram? The spring can't get in the way of that.
