'''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==
===''Super Paper Mario''===

[[File:Super Mario Kun Volume 37 Barry.png|thumb|right|''Super Mario-Kun'']]
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.

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.
