'''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, 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 attacks (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.
