There are a few [[attack]]s in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] that cause the '''bury''' effect. Characters hit by such attacks will be [[buried|embedded in the ground]]. If the target is not on the ground, they will take regular knockback. If the target is already buried, the length of the effect will not be increased or reset. It is not uncommon for burying attacks to [[meteor smash]] airborne opponents, often giving them good [[edgeguarding]] abilities, though this is merely a design convention and not a property of the effect itself. A prone opponent cannot be buried in ''Melee'' and ''SSB4'' but they can in ''Brawl'', and an opponent who has been [[tripping|tripped]] can also be buried.

'''Bury''' is an attack [[effect]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] that debuted in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and has appeared in every subsequent game. Grounded fighters hit by a bury attack are [[buried]] for an amount of time based on the victim's total [[damage]]; non-grounded fighters hit by a bury attack instead take [[knockback]] as usual.
 
Bury [[hitbox]]es are [[weight]] independent, and can ignore [[Armor#Knockback-based_armor|subtractive knockback-based armor]] (such as from the [[Metal Box]]).
 
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Support [[Spirit]] skill Bury Immunity prevents the equipped fighter from being buried, but does not affect the damage it takes from bury attacks (except [[Pitfall]]s, which instead have no effect).
 
Bury attacks typically [[meteor smash]] airborne opponents, often giving them good [[edgeguarding]] abilities. This is solely a design convention and is not a property of the bury effect.
 
==Plunge==
'''Plunge''' is an attack effect similar to the bury effect that also causes victims to become [[buried]]. However, if an opponent standing on a [[Platform#Soft platforms|soft platform]] is hit by a plunge attack, instead of being buried they briefly have the appearance of being buried before falling straight down.
 
The plunge effect is exclusive to the [[Pitfall]] item, and in ''Ultimate'', the traps dug by [[Shovel Knight]].

==Plunge==
The '''plunge''' effect is similar to the bury effect, and in most situations, it acts exactly the same. The main difference is that, if the target is standing on a [[Platform#Soft_platforms|soft platform]], they will be hit down through the platform after the "being buried" animation has finished instead of popping back up.
The only attack to use the plunge effect is that of the [[Pitfall]].

* Despite [[Lucas]]'s [[down throw]] showing the opponent embedded in the ground in ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'', this is purely aesthetic and does not use the bury effect or cause the buried condition.

* When the bury effect was introduced in ''Melee'', it was exclusively used for two attacks, {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}}'s [[Headbutt]] and [[Togepi]]'s Magnitude.
**Subsequently, Donkey Kong has the distinction of being the only character to have always had a bury attack in every game since the effect's introduction.

Villager burying Mario and Bowser in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
For more detail on the status condition caused by moves with the bury effect, see buried.

Bury is an attack effect in the Super Smash Bros. series that debuted in Super Smash Bros. Melee and has appeared in every subsequent game. Grounded fighters hit by a bury attack are buried for an amount of time based on the victim's total damage; non-grounded fighters hit by a bury attack instead take knockback as usual.

Bury hitboxes are weight independent, and can ignore subtractive knockback-based armor (such as from the Metal Box).

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Support Spirit skill Bury Immunity prevents the equipped fighter from being buried, but does not affect the damage it takes from bury attacks (except Pitfalls, which instead have no effect).

Bury attacks typically meteor smash airborne opponents, often giving them good edgeguarding abilities. This is solely a design convention and is not a property of the bury effect.

Plunge[edit]

Plunge is an attack effect similar to the bury effect that also causes victims to become buried. However, if an opponent standing on a soft platform is hit by a plunge attack, instead of being buried they briefly have the appearance of being buried before falling straight down.

The plunge effect is exclusive to the Pitfall item, and in Ultimate, the traps dug by Shovel Knight.

Trivia[edit]

  • Despite Lucas's down throw showing the opponent embedded in the ground in SSB4 and Ultimate, this is purely aesthetic and does not use the bury effect or cause the buried condition. Even fighters with a Bury Immunity Spirit and grabable Assist Trophies will be shown embedded in the ground, despite being unable to be buried.
  • When the bury effect was introduced in Melee, it was exclusively used for two attacks, Donkey Kong's Headbutt and Togepi's Magnitude.
    • Subsequently, Donkey Kong has the distinction of being the only character to have always had a bury attack in every game since the effect's introduction.
