Pitfall Seed

A Pitfall, also known as a Pitfall Seed, is an item found throughout the.

Usage
When pitfalls are buried and walked upon, the player or villager will fall into the pit and display the shocked emotion. Players must rapidly tap buttons to get out of the pitfall, and the more buttons pressed the quicker they are to escape. Villagers shout and exclaim when talked to after falling in a hole, and after being spoken to they instantly free themselves. Special Characters, like Tortimer, are immune and cannot fall in them.

In, if a player falls into a pitfall and there is an NPC nearby, they will be shocked.

Obtaining
Pitfalls vary in rarity throughout the games. In most games pitfalls spawn randomly throughout the town each day like fossils. But they also appear in the Lost and Found or in the Dump (in respective games). In, they can be dug up from tours and kept.

Pitfalls are considered "trash" in most games, selling for no bells. This changes in where they sell for 10 Bells. Additionally, if a player falls into a pitfall and a villager or special character is looking or following them at the time, they will watch on displaying the shocked emotion.

Tricky Pitfall Seed
This new type of pitfall only appears in and most often appears at the Police Station once it has been unlocked. A Tricky Pitfall looks similar to a regular pitfall, except with a yellow exclamation mark on a purple background. It functions identically to the regular pitfall, except the crack for the buried dark pitfall is much smaller, making it difficult to see.

Following the changes, as well as their introduction in, tricky pitfalls have a resell value of 20 Bells.



Super Smash Bros. Brawl
When thrown, if the opponent is on the ground, they are buried for a short time. If the opponent is in the air and the Pitfall Seed hits, they are "spiked" (shot directly downward). Or, if thrown and it lands on the ground, it appears to vanish in a series of sparks, then, when an opponent, or the thrower walks over the place where the Pitfall "vanished" they will be buried.
