Any fighter on the ground hit by an attack with a bury effect will be buried. In '' Melee'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', a character that is [[Floor recovery|lying down]] cannot be buried, unless they are lying down due to [[Snake]]'s [[down throw]]; however, a character who has [[trip]]ped can be buried. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', characters lying down on the ground can be buried. If a fighter cannot be buried, they simply take [[knockback]] as usual from the bury attack. In all games, buried characters cannot be [[grab]]bed.

In ''Melee'', very few attacks can bury characters, with the only one belonging to a playable character being {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}}'s [[Headbutt]]. It has since become increasingly more common in later games, with examples of new attacks that can cause it being {{SSB4|Villager}}'s [[down smash]], {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}}' automatic [[Flip Jump]] stomp from ''Smash 4'' onward, {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s down smash in ''Ultimate'', and {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}'s [[down throw]]. The [[Pitfall]] item uses a plunge effect, which drops characters through [[soft platform]]s if they can be buried, but otherwise behaves identically to the bury effect.

In ''Ultimate'', the support [[spirit]] skill Bury Immunity prevents the equipped fighter from being buried.

In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', a buried character simply remains stuck in one animation [[frame]], with no visual indication of how much time they have left to escape. In ''Smash 4'', however, they shake when [[button mashing]] to escape faster. ''Ultimate'', in addition to keeping this visual effect, adds others that better indicate how close a buried character is to escaping; when 30% of the initial bury duration has passed, small portions of dirt splash out of them, and when 60% of the duration has passed, the character flashes yellow with larger and louder portions of dirt splashing out of them. If buried by a throw, the small dirt splashes appear immediately, with the latter effect instead happening when 33.3% of the initial bury duration has passed.

In ''Ultimate'', characters have two buried poses: upright and upside down. Fighters are normally buried upright, but {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}, {{SSBU|R.O.B.}}, and {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}'s [[down throw]]s bury the thrown fighter upside down. The latter pose is also used during {{SSBU|Lucas}}'s down throw, although it does not cause the buried condition (in ''Smash 4'', it uses a character's grabbed animation rather than a specific buried pose). Being buried upright or upside down affects the [[hurtbox]] placement of the buried character, so a character that is buried upright might not get hit by an attack that would hit them buried upside down, and vice versa.

The [[boss]] [[Rathalos]] (but not as an [[Assist Trophy]]) is affected by Pitfalls, having its own unique buried appearance with a very large amount of churned dirt surrounding it. It cannot be buried by any other attacks, however.

In ''Ultimate'', attacks that hit buried opponents without unburying them have their knockback "stored" and applied when the effect wears off, including [[neutral attack]]s and [[meteor smash]]es, and even other status conditions such as [[freezing]], allowing even more followups out of a bury if the opponent cannot escape quickly enough.

Due to new mechanics relating to knockback's interactions with buries in ''Ultimate'', there are some instances where knockback storage will result in [[tech]] situations being stored. This is known as '''bury tech situation storage''', or '''BTSS'''. As of version 13.0.0, the glitch was patched out.<ref>https://youtu.be/UhhykyAvBMs</ref>

Attacks stored that result in a launch [[angle]] of 0° or 180° (including the [[Sakurai angle]] at lower percentages), while an opponent has their control stick positioned in the upper half of the stick radius, cause the glitch to occur. The reason why this happens is due to buries storing knockback, and [[ASDI]] being triggered on release when the stick is held upwards at the end of the bury. This causes opponents to be forced into the tech situation. Due to ASDI being required, bury throws are unaffected by BTSS. Any buried state, as long as it is not caused by a throw, will cause this to occur. Thus, anything from [[Pitfall]]s to [[Flip Jump]] buries can potentially cause this. Unusually, the interaction only occurs with buries, and no other state.

This technique can be used as a counter to mashing using directional inputs, although it can be avoided. Some examples include only using the lower half of the stick radius, or simply button mashing, although the latter is considered suboptimal. However, against players rotating the stick completely, it has a decently high chance of occurring. Almost every [[neutral attack]] in the game can cause this to occur due to their low knockback and Sakurai angles, giving easy access to the technique. However, there are many other options in the game that have the possibility of causing this, due to the abundance of the Sakurai angle. Since the Sakurai angle is locked to 0° prior to 60 KB, this makes an otherwise rare occurrence very easy to execute.

Opponents being able to miss techs right in front of a player gives them easy access to [[lock]] confirms, especially if they can also cover tech options. As a result, BTSS has very high reward should it occur in the right circumstances. Characters such as King K. Rool can also force it to occur with moves like K. Rool's [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Down aerial|down aerial]] pre-tumble, allowing for exceedingly high damage output that also cover tech options with alternate, reactable combo routes. However, the [[randomness]]-based inconsistencies of the technique also make it difficult to plan and prepare for. Without having a specific combo route for whether it works or not, BTSS is more of an inconvenience than a benefit.

*If buried during their extra platform drop frames, {{SSBU|Ryu}}, {{SSBU|Ken}}, and {{SSBU|Terry}} will instantly unbury while sustaining [[hitlag]] in a similar manner to the [[Bounce glitch]].
