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 an X-shaped mark on the ground, although they are indistinguishable from other buried items such as fossils.

When thrown, the Pitfall can 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 [[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. 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 smash]]ed. Having multiple Pitfall items and planting them in the exact same spot can cause more damage than usual.

|desc=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.

**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.

*The incoming damage reduction provided by the [[Spirit#Dojo|Brick-Wall Style]] is considerably greater against the Pitfall, possibly as a nod to Booker and Copper originating from the same series.
