'''Random Cog Pedro Spot''', or '''RCPS''' for short, is the theory that it is possible to gain enough speed from the [[Tick Tock Clock]] Pedro Spot on the random setting to jump straight to the SotT star, which would have saved an A press at the time. | |||

Theoretically, if [[RNG]] was consistent enough to let Mario stay inside the Pedro Spot for about 800 frames, Mario could gain enough positive horizontal speed that, after A is pressed, would be enough to reach the [[Stomp on the Thwomp]] star. This would have been enough to collect Stomp on the Thwomp in 1 A press, which would have reduced the past count for [[A Button Challenge|ABC]]. The star in question is now already done without pressing A, so this strategy is redundant. | ||

A few dozen objects in TTC call RNG, meaning a desirable state is incredibly hard to achieve. Adding to this, there is no way to manipulate RNG while inside the Pedro Spot; the only way is to manipulate RNG before entering the Pedro Spot using dust. | ||
