Yep! There's two others.

One to unlock all your elemental upgrades and armor:

Hold L1 and push: Left, Up, Down, Up, Right

And one for Maximum XP so you can buy all your upgrades without collecting all the XP:

Hold R1 and push: Up, Left, Left, Down, Up

Do you mind using cheat codes?
When I keep dying, I usually like to use the health cheat code (mine works on PS2 version). c:

I usually just fly around until I get to another platform. That's how I found the 'hidden' platform with the last piece of armor on it.
