Pitfall
A Pitfall is an item from the Animal Crossing series that will appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It looks like a white ball with a a big red exclamation mark on it. Once thrown on the ground, it will seemingly disappear. If a player happens to walk over the spot it was placed, a hole appears underneath said player, which will trap the player in the ground. Players can then attack the foe without fear of being hit back. This is similar to Donkey Kong's Headbutt move in Super Smash Bros. Melee. If a player plants the Pitfall on a hovering platform, it will cause the victim to drop down to the platform below. If placed on a character, the said character will fall as normally with the exception of falling through all the hovering platforms below and be stuck in any ground in the way.
