The Pitfall (おとしあなのタネ, Pitfall Seed) is an item that appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. 4. It hails from the Animal Crossing series. When thrown, the Pitfall bounces off walls until it touches the ground, which it then embeds itself into with no trace, but will disappear with a puff of smoke after a few minutes. Unless the opponent is invincible, the next enemy to walk onto its location will sustain damage and become buried. Characters on a hard platform will remain buried for the normal duration as determined by their damage, though characters on a soft/fall-through platform will be spiked downwards through the platform after the "buried" animation has finished. This also happens when the item is thrown at a grounded enemy. When thrown at an airborne enemy or at an enemy hanging on an edge, the target is meteor smashed. If a fighter is lying on the ground and is hit with a Pitfall, they'll take damage, but will not be buried. Having multiple Pitfall items and planting them in the exact same spot will cause more damage.
Pitfalls will not bury downed characters (including if Olimar lands on one after his Final Smash), but the audience may still cheer as usual.
Origin
In all games in the Animal Crossing series, pitfall seeds are items that can be found buried in the ground. 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 an X-shaped mark on the ground, although they are indistinguishable from other buried items such as fossils.

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.
- Pitfall
- 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.

Super Smash Bros. 4
- Pitfall
You can plant this in the ground as a trap against your enemies. If they set it off, they'll be rooted in place and at your mercy. If opponents are spending too much time in the air, throwing this at them can send them meteoring down to the ground—or better yet, right off the stage!
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 Wario strikes a buried Pitfall while riding on his Wario Bike (and is not wheelieing or taunting), he will be sent flying for an instant 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.
