Tripping

Tripping is back! In previous Animal Crossing games, tripping was a side effect of days with bad luck in which you could randomly fall while running.

Now, in the latest update to New Horizons, tripping only occurs under certain circumstances. You can only trip while running with certain items.

So far, the only items we’ve noticed this happens with are the King Tut mask and balloons, the latter of which are obtained exclusively through Redd’s Raffle. If you trip while holding a balloon, it floats away into the sky. How sad!

Tripping doesn’t really affect anything, so don’t worry if it happens while you’re playing. It’s just a minor inconvenience, but your character will pick himself or herself back up quickly and carry on.
