'''Barry''' is an optional [[Pixl]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', and one of the twelve original Pixls created by the [[Tribe of Ancients|Ancients]]. When he is used, the main character spins in place for one second, creating an impenetrable spiky barrier that can damage enemies and deflect projectiles, hence the name. The ability is derived from the [[Superguard]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', but has more lenient timing.


==History==
'''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.

At the start of [[The Bitlands]], Barry is in a bush and witnesses [[Francis]] kidnapping [[Tippi]]. He reacts once Francis leaves, considering Tippi doomed.


Upon interacting with the bush, Barry emerges to talk more about Francis and [[Fort Francis|his fortress]], and gives three tips for reaching it. Each tip mentions something red: an X at the old castle, one of [[Big Blooper (Super Paper Mario)|Big Blooper]]'s tentacles, and a gust of wind. He then says to tell him how they rescued Tippi if they manage it.
==[[Catch Card]]==

If the player does return after clearing Fort Francis, Barry joins the party because he has nothing else to do.
 
Barry is the only Pixl not to immediately recognize [[Mario]] as one of the [[Heroes of Light]]; according to his [[Tattle]], he is slightly embarrassed about this.
 
===''Super Mario-Kun''===
Barry appears in volume 37 of the ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'' manga. As in the game, he informs Mario that Francis has kidnapped Tippi.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*When Barry joins, he says, "Like it or not." The same thing happens in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' when [[Lady Bow]] joins.
{{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 similar 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 similar (spinning in place).
*Barry's shape greatly resembles [[Super Mario Sunshine/Beta elements|Mario's beta Health Meter]] from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.
**He also resembles the logo on the [[Red Coin]]s from ''Super Mario Sunshine'', too.
*Barry is one of three optional Pixls in ''Super Paper Mario'', and therefore is not needed to successfully complete the game, though his presence does make it considerably easier to complete. The other optional Pixls are [[Dashell]] and [[Piccolo]].
