A Pedro spot is a geometric configuration in which a floor is vertically aligned and within 160 units of a ceiling. They must also be at least 1-2 units apart, depending on their position relative to the origin. Pedro spots have the unique property that by landing in one while in an air action, Mario's [[quarter step]] is cancelled, yet he still technically "lands". Pedro spots have found two important applications in the [[A Button Challenge]].

When Mario lands in a Pedro spot, he never physically enters it. Instead, he stays positioned in the air next to it. This allows a form of [[subframe grinding]], allowing Mario to continue taking air steps while staying fixed in place. This can be used to build forward speed until Mario breaks out of the spot.
