Barry

Barry is an optional Pixl in the Wii game Super Paper Mario. Mario and Peach first meet Barry after Francis kidnaps Tippi. Barry reveals three tips on how to reach Francis's fortress. Later, after Tippi is rescued, and the player goes through the level again, Barry joins the party because he has nothing else to do. Barry can surround the main character with a strong barrier that can do damage to their enemies and deflect enemy projectile attacks back at the enemy (though it appears for only a few seconds). Barry did not realize that Mario was the great hero until he comes back to see him after defeating Francis.

Trivia

 * His name is a real name, but used as a pun on his special ability, creating barriers.
 * According to his Tattle, Barry is ashamed at not realizing Mario was the hero of the Light Prognosticus. He is also the only one out of the original eleven Pixls who did not know this.
 * Though this would appear to be a simple coincidence, the name "Barry" had previously been used in Yoshi's Universal Gravitation, where it referred to a Bear-type Eggling.
 * He resembles the special effects for a barrel roll, a famous Starfox maneuver that deflects enemy fire.
 * His ability to deflect and counter attacks is also derived from the Superguard ability from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door; additionally, the player that uses Barry will spin in a similar fashion.
 * His ability is also very similiar to Paper Mario Thousand Year Door's Superguard as both require timing (though Barrys doesn't have to be so precise) both deal damage to the opponent and protects the player from damage, and their animation is very similiar (spinning in place).
