Barry (Mario)

The prickly Pixl
Barry
Species	Pixl
Debut	Super Paper Mario

Barry is an optional partner in Super Paper Mario, found in the Bitlands. Barry creates a shield of spikes around Mario and co. that will temporarily protect them from harm and can damage enemies that touch it. The shield will also bounce enemy attacks back at the enemy if timed correctly.

Mario and co. first encounter Barry shortly after Tippi is captured by Francis. Though not offering to join the group, he gives them hints about how to reach Fort Francis and asks them to return if they do manage to save Tippi. Upon completing Chapter 3, Mario and co. can return to Barry and, impressed with their abilities, he will join the party.

"That's Barry, the barrier Pixl. He creates an impenetrable barrier around you... Barry got sick of sleeping and wandered around before running into Mario... Barry is a little embarrassed about not knowing that Mario was the legendary hero..."
