Editing Pitfall seed

The primary use of a pitfall seed is for the [[player]] to bury it, at which point it will look like any other buried item. When a [[villager]] or player walks over a buried pitfall seed, they will fall into it. If the player speaks to a trapped villager, they will rattle about their situation and jump out. Depending on the game or [[personality]], they will be angry or sad after escaping. However, [[special character]]s such as [[Tortimer]] and [[Joan]] are "immune" to pitfalls, and in {{NH|short}}, the player will not receive a [[friendship]] penalty from a villager who falls into a pitfall. Any player who falls into a pitfall can get out by rapidly tapping any button. A second use for pitfall seeds are to place them in letters written to neighbors, and in return, they will send the player a present.

Pitfalls are uncommon in {{DnM}}, {{DnM+}}, {{PG}}, and {{DnMe+}} and can only be found whenever a villager buries it somewhere and puts up a notice on the bulletin board on which [[acre]] to where to find it in. Sometimes, however, villagers may put a notice on the bulletin board and bury a furniture item instead of a pitfall. Pitfalls can also be found in the [[dump]], or at the [[lost and found|Lost & Found]] at the [[police station]]. If the player tries to sell a pitfall to [[Tom Nook]], he will treat it as he does [[trash]] and will not buy it; instead, he offers to throw it away.

In {{WW|short}} and {{CF|short}}, pitfall seeds are found every day. One spawns per day alongside some [[fossil]]s if any previous pitfall seed has been stepped on by the player or a villager, or has been dug up. Pitfall seeds can also be collected from the lost and found run by [[Booker]] at the [[checkpoint]], or found in the recycling bin in the [[town hall]]. As with his appearance in {{PG|nolink}}, Tom Nook will offer to throw out pitfall seeds if the player tries to sell them.

In {{NL|short}}, in addition to the returning pitfall seed mechanics from {{WW|short|nolink}} and {{CF|short|nolink}}, a new type of pitfall seed, the '''tricky pitfall seed''', appears in the game. They can only be found at the police station and are very rare. They take the appearance of normal pitfall seeds except the sphere is dark purple and the exclamation point is yellow, similar to fossil's color scheme. They also work the same way as pitfall seeds, except the 'star mark' left behind is smaller, making them more difficult to see.

Pitfalls make an appearance in the [[Super Smash Bros.|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], appearing in {{SSBB}}, {{SSB4|3dswiiu}}, and {{SSBU}}. When thrown, they are buried for a short time, but fighters can quickly escape by quickly waggling the control stick back and forth. If the opponent is in the air and the pitfall hits, they are "[[smashwiki:Meteor smash|meteor smashed]]", or shot directly downward. Or, if thrown and it lands on the ground, it appears to vanish in a series of sparks. When an opponent walks over the place where the pitfall is thrown, they will be buried.
