Perry

Perry (Japanese: Kassa) is Princess Peach's magical, talking parasol in Super Princess Peach. She uses Perry to attack members of the Koopa Troop on her way to rescue the Mario Bros. Throughout the game, Perry's past is revealed in the umbrella's dreams. It seems that he is a Human (or perhaps a Toad), turned into an umbrella by two strange figure's magic. His dreams tell his story like this: Perry, not knowing who he is, is woken by a kindly old man, who takes him in. Eventually, they are interrupted by two figures, which are never shown but for their outlines. They announce that the boy has strange powers, and they must take him away. When the two refuse, they turn Perry into an umbrella, but he is able to escape their grasp and is picked up by a merchant, sold to Toadsworth, and given to Princess Peach. After Perry's last dream, he wakes up exclaiming that "Those two guys that kidnapped Grandpa are evil! Bowser is evil! Let's get 'im!" He then whispers to "Grandfather", telling him that he has decided to stay with the Princess for awhile, and that he wonders when they will be reunited. Sadly, the ending of the game offers no further clues to his origin.
