Pitfall Seed

A Pitfall, also known as a Pitfall Seed, is an item in the. When buried, a pitfall resembles other buried objects. When pitfalls are walked upon, the player or villager falls into a pit and is trapped. Players must rapidly tap buttons to get out of the pitfall. Villagers sometimes free themselves when spoken to. Characters like Mayor Tortimer are immune to them. Pitfalls are rare in and the other GCN versions, but quite common in Wild World and City Folk.

When villagers are pushed into a pitfall, they will fall into it with a "shock" emotion. If you speak to them while they are trapped, they will sometimes shout and jump out. This will cause them to become very angry or sad after escaping.

A beneficial use of a pitfall it to send it to villagers as presents. In return they will send you a present. When unburied, pitfall seeds have the appearance of a white sphere with a large red exclamation point in the center on both sides.

There are three ways in which one can obtain pitfall seeds: They can be found buried in a town with one or two added everyday along with fossils, collected from the lost and found run by Booker, or found in the dump (recycling bin in town hall). Tom Nook wont buy pitfalls; instead, he offers to "dispose" of them.

When you dig up a fossil take it to the museum and let the owl scan it but then take it back to nook and you get lots of 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 were the Pitfall "vanished" they will be buried.
