PPD Quick Start

The level select option. This will send you into any level here.

Parameters

This option allows you to set the character you wish to play as and various other options. It's unclear if the Light Editor Enabled option works.

PPD Particles

Probably a place to test VRAM usage. Leaving this option will show debug bars onscreen during gameplay.

In Game Debug Menu

With the code on from the first section, pause the game then press R3 while in the pause menu. This will bring up the debug menu. Exit the pause screen afterwords by pressing Start again. To exit the debug menu press L3. To bring it up at anytime again press R2 + R3.

There is a lot of neat things you can do here. Such as activate cheats, toggle display debug info, edit cameras and lighting, play sounds from the game, etc. On the second page of this debug menu you can enable miscellaneous debug displays:

Debug Displays

A lot of debug displays can be enabled by toggling the Debug Display option. You can also edit them by toggling the Debug Mode option respectively.
