Trip

Tripping is a gameplay mechanic in the Super Smash Bros. games.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, there is a random chance that players can trip if they attempt to initiate a ground-based move such as ground attacks or running. Once players trip, they can get up normally, by rolling, or with a weak attack. Banana Peels and Tingle (spawned with an Assist Trophy) can induce tripping, however, and some moves have a random chance to trip the player. Random tripping is removed in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but can still be caused by some attacks, items and Assist Trophies.
