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. Pitfall seeds can be found once every day.
