“I have somemedicine that's meant to be administered...ORALLY!”

—Dr. Vulko,Mario & Luigi: Brothership

Dr. Vulko, or simplyVulko, is a physician inMario & Luigi: Brothership fromSkorcheen Island who discovers the cure for those afflicted byGlohm:Ampberries. Dr. Vulko is an elderly man with orange skin and hair, stone-like eyebrows, and eyes that are always shut. His name appears to be derived fromVulcan, the Roman god of fire and volcanoes.

History[edit]

WhenChilliam is afflicted with Glohm,Mario andLuigi head to Skorcheen Island in search of Dr. Vulko. Unfortunately, no one can reach him because the Connectar Flowers that lead up to his volcano home are not in bloom. Once Skorcheen Island is linked withShipshape Island, the flowers bloom and Vulko is able to leave his house.

On Shipshape, Vulko cures Chilliam with an Ampberry, though he admittedly was not sure if it would work. Vulko then sets off on curing everyone else affected by Glohm, but he is running low on Ampberries, as he only received a few as a souvenir. Informing Mario and Luigi that the berries only grow onWayaway Island, he tasks the brothers with finding more.

Once Mario and Luigi bring the large pile of Ampberries they found inBowser's Castle to Dr. Vulko, he gives them some in addition to the Auto AmpberryBattle Plug. If Mario and Luigi ever have less than 10 Ampberries, they can talk to Vulko on Shipshape to receive enough Ampberries to give them 10.

AfterGlohm Bowser is defeated and an unbreakable barrier forms aroundFortress Zokket, Dr. Vulko suggests seeking outAdaphne onJellyfish Island for help.

FollowingReclusa's awakening, Dr. Vulko is trapped by one of his flowers and fantasizes about earning praise for his research. After Reclusa's defeat, Dr. Vulko expresses interest in going to theMushroom Kingdom and learning about it.
