Pitfall

A pitfall item.

The Pitfall is an item that appear in Brawl. It hails from the Animal Crossing series. When thrown onto the ground, the ball breaks, and leaves no trace of where it landed, and the next person to walk over it is sucked down. This also happens when the item is thrown at an enemy. If used on a floating platform, the character will fall through it, but if used on the ground, the character will just be stuck temporarily as if hit by Donkey Kong's Headbutt.If you throw it at an enemy while he or she is in the air he or she will go straight to the ground, as if Meteor Smashed. This can be used to score easy KO's on custom stages made by the Stage Builder that have the fall-through platforms as their base.

In the Animal Crossing series, it was a somewhat rare item that, when buried, would cause any character except special visitors who walked over it to fall down into a small pit. This item was one of rarer items in the series and was most commonly found randomly buried. In Animal Crossing: Wild World, it was named Pitfall Seed, and was less rare.

Trophy

The Pitfall item appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros Brawl.

Trivia

If Wario stikes a buried Pitfall while riding on his Wario Bike, he will be sent flying for an instant KO.
