A '''pit''', also called an '''abyss''', | A '''pit''', also called an '''abyss''', '''bottomless pit''', or '''void''' in 3D [[Genre#Platform games|platformers]], is a common obstacle in platform games where no solid ground is programmed. In 2D platformers, pits appear in almost every [[level]]. If a character falls or [[jump]]s into a pit, they will be affected negatively, usually by immediately losing a life. Aesthetically, pits can take many forms, and many of these pits appear to have no bottom; after falling a varying distance down (usually simply below the camera or screen), the player loses a life, even if an invincibility-granting item is in effect. | ||
In 3D platformers, many levels consist of landmasses or platforms floating in a large void. Examples of this are [[Whomp's Fortress]], [[Pianta Village]], the [[Metro Kingdom]], and many levels of the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' games and ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. These voids are essentially considered to be massive pits. | In 3D platformers, many levels consist of landmasses or platforms floating in a large void.
