'''Random Cog Pedro Spot''', or '''RCPS''' for short,  is the theory that it is possible to gain enough speed from the TTC Pedro Spot on the random setting to jump straight to the SotT star, which would save an A press.

In Tick Tock Clock, there is a [[Pedro Spot]] in between two of the cogs. Theoretically, if RNG was kind 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 SotT star. This would allow us to collect SoTT in 1 A press, reducing the current count for the ABC to 18.
In Tick Tock Clock, there is a [[Pedro Spot]] in between two of the cogs. 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 allow us to collect Stomp on the Thwomp in 1 A press, reducing the current count for the [[A Button Challenge|ABC]] to 18.

This is extremely difficult, however, since there are 10^130 possible states; the chances of finding a successful state is 1 in 10^85. A few dozen objects in TTC call RNG, meaning a desirable state is incredibly hard to achieve. Adding to this, we cannot manipulate RNG while inside the Pedro Spot; the best shot we have is to manipulate RNG before entering the Pedro Spot using dust.
