Some pits do not cause instant death. Some pits, such as those found in ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', are not bottomless. However, players will be taken out if they hit the bottom and are issued a penalty, such as losing a [[life]] or being warped back to a particular location.

Pits can take many forms. Although Mario can swim in some levels of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', if he falls into water in a non-swimming level, he will lose a life just like if it was a pit. In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', allowing the player's character to sink through quicksand is the same as falling into a pit. In 2D platformers, [[lava]] is essentially a pit. In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', pits are generally the Black Holes, or the wide if the player falls in, and they appear in island-like galaxies like [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]] or [[Matter Splatter Galaxy]]. | Pits can take many forms.
