A '''Pitfall''' is an item that appears in the game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', bearing the same appearance as it had in the ''Animal Crossing'' series, from which it originated.  Pitfalls are white balls with a single red exclamation mark on them. They are used in a similar manner as they are in the ''Animal Crossing'' games; once a pitfall is thrown on the ground, it will be buried. If a player walks over the spot in which the pitfall is hidden, a pit will open up under them and they will fall in. While in the hole, they will be stunned and open to attack.

If a pitfall is thrown on a platform, it will drop through the platform (and any below) and bury itself in the main ground.  Also, if a player throws a pitfall at another character, the victim will drop through platforms to the main ground and then become trapped.

== Trophy Information from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' ==
''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.''

== Trivia ==
* The Pitfall looks a lot like a [[Surprise Ball]] from the [[Yoshi (series)|Yoshi series]], although the colors are reversed.
