Experiencing the effects of the pitfall.

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.
