I had a agood solution for this like a month ago, for if they ever remake these games. Have Diamond Jiggies/Double Jiggies as a different collectable. For REGULAR Jiggies as well as Cheato Pages etc, you can always 100% get all of them on the first visit. But Diamond Jiggies are different, and ALWAYS require backtracking and will add 2 points to your total Jiggy count instead of one.

Then, just have the Diamond Jiggy either physically visible or have a character mention they will give you a diamond one. And make it so you don't HAVE to get any Diamond Jiggies to beat the game just so long as you get nearly all of the normal gold Jiggies. This fixes;

>clears up confusion; the player always knows when something needs backtracking or not
>the player doesn't HAVE to backtrack to beat the game if they really don't want to (meaning you cater to normies who just wanna quickly get through the game AND the people who love complex interconnectivity, without sacrificing either gameplay style)
>since diamond ones are a different collectable in the menu totals list, the player always knows if there is more they can accomplish right now or not
>players who take the time and effort to backtrack are double-rewarded for the extra effort it took, rather than just be a given a normal Jiggy for an overly-complex task

The fact backtracking is now voluntarily also gives them more freedom to make some Diamond Jiggies way harder to obtain, which is what the people who CHOOSE to backtrack actually want. No longer would you get simple backtracking like Hatching Tiptup's egg. Backtracking would be more complex and always demand a certain level of thinking or difficult execution that people who love backtracking actually want.
