Pitfall

The Pitfall is an item in the Animal Crossing series and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In Animal Crossing, the only use for a pitfall is to bury it with the shovel and when stepped on, the player or a villager will fall into a pit and have to struggle their way out. It can not be sold for any bells, but Tom Nook will take it off the player's hands for them. They can be found by digging up star shape in the ground that can be mistaken for fossils or gyroids In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it can be thrown onto the ground or any other surface for a similar effect, but when it hits, it disappears. It can be thrown directly at another fighter and they will be stuck in the first surface they fall on, and if the surface is thin enough, they will fall into the next surface or even out of the stage completely. The pitfall also appears as a trophy.
