'''Barry''' is an optional [[Pixl]] in the [[Wii]] game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. His name is a real name, but used as a pun on his special ability,: creating barriers. His ability to deflect and counter attacks is derived from the [[Superguard]] ability from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''; additionally, the player that uses Barry will spin in a similar fashion.
