The '''Pitfall''' is an item confirmed to appear in ''[[Brawl]]''. It hails from the [[Animal Crossing universe]]. When set on the ground, the next person to walk over it is sucked down. This also happens when the item is thrown at an enemy.

The '''Pitfall''' ({{ja|おとしあなのタネ|Otoshiana no Tane}}, ''Pitfall Seed'') is an [[item]] that appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It hails from the {{uv|Animal Crossing}} series.


==Origin==
[[File:PitfallSeed.jpg|thumb|left|A player finds a Pitfall Seed in ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf''.]]
In all games in the ''Animal Crossing'' series, pitfall seeds are items that can be found buried in the ground with the exception of ''New Horizons'', which requires a crafting recipe for a pitfall seed. If the player or an animal walks over a buried pitfall seed, they will fall and be temporarily stuck in a hole. Players can dig up pitfall seeds and rebury them elsewhere, making it possible to pull "pranks" by setting traps for animals or other players to fall into. Unlike in ''Smash'', buried pitfall seeds are visible in the form of a star-shaped mark on the ground, although they are indistinguishable from other buried items such as fossils.

==Overview==
When thrown, the Pitfall can bounces off walls until it touches the ground, which it then embeds itself into with no trace, waiting for an opponent to walk over it. The next opponent to walk onto its location will sustain damage and become [[buried]]. If nobody activates the Pitfall, it will despawn in a puff of smoke after 40 seconds. Characters on a solid [[platform]] will remain buried for the normal duration as determined how much [[damage]] they sustained, though characters on a fall-through platform will be spiked downwards through the platform after the "buried" animation has finished. When thrown, the Pitfall also has a hitbox, and if it hits a grounded opponent, it will activate on them, and bury them for even longer. When thrown at an airborne enemy or at an enemy hanging on an edge, the target is [[meteor smash]]ed. Having multiple Pitfall items and planting them in the exact same spot can cause more damage than usual.
In ''Ultimate'', Pitfalls will not bury downed characters (including if [[Olimar]] lands on one after [[End of Day|his Final Smash]]), but the audience may still cheer as usual. Throwing a Pitfall on an already-buried character will cause a meteor effect, sending the character flying upwards with high knockback.

==[[Trophies]]==
===In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
The Pitfall item appears as a trophy in ''Super Smash Bros Brawl''. It is obtained by completing [[100-Man Brawl]] with any character.
{{Trophy

|desc-ntsc=A tricky little item you can bury. Any player who passes over it will drop into a hole. If you land in a pitfall, move the Control Stick quickly back and forth to escape, because until you do, you're completely defenseless. In Animal Crossing, this item also dropped passersby into holes. It was a thrill to bury one and wait for a visiting pal to stumble across it.

|desc-pal=Bury this item anywhere you like, then wait for an unsuspecting fighter to step on it. They'll drop into a hole and be stuck there, giving you the chance to practise your best smashes on them. If that's not for you, try hitting your opponent with it in mid-air for a devastating meteor smash!

==Trivia==
*In ''Brawl'', if {{SSBB|Wario}} strikes a buried Pitfall while riding on his [[Wario Bike]] (and is not wheelieing or taunting), he will be sent flying for a near certain [[KO]]. This is due to how Wario is considered grounded despite being unable to be buried or plunged, and so he takes the full effect of the planted Pitfall's fixed knockback value of a ludicrous 300 (designed for a long bury time). This knockback value is also why the crowd cheers when someone enters a Pitfall.
**Likely in order to prevent this scenario in ''Ultimate'', the Bury Immunity support [[spirit]] skill will completely negate damage and knockback from pitfall seeds, while with all other sources of burying, the burying attacks will simply deal the knockback they are programmed with rather than burying the opponent.
**However, a similar trick works in ''Ultimate'' by exploiting {{SSBU|Kirby}}'s [[Stone]]. If a Pitfall is thrown at Kirby in his stone form on the ground that deals enough damage to break him out of it, he will be meteor smashed off the ground with enormous knockback, comparable to {{h2|Shield jump|Jigglypuff's shield jump}}, virtually guaranteeing a KO if there is no ceiling above Kirby.
