“Easy for you to say! You just hold the map, you don't have to dig!”

—Kutlass, "Ape-Nesia"

Kutlass is a shipmate of Kaptain Skurvy and recurring character in the Donkey Kong Country animated series. He is Skurvy's first mate, and he speaks with a distinctive Italian accent. Kutlass is voiced by John Stocker, the same person who voices Toad in the Super Mario cartoons. Kutlass's model is a recolor of King K. Rool's, as the two look identical besides their scale color and clothes.

General information

Despite Kutlass being Kaptain Skurvy's first mate, he does not have as much of a significant role in the episodes. During the episodes, he makes plans to steal the Crystal Coconut with Skurvy and his shipmate Green Kroc.

Kutlass is the one of the two of Skurvy's minions that actually follows the Pirate Handbook and knows it by heart. Despite his loyalty, he can sometimes act snappy with Skurvy, but withdraws the remarks quickly after Skurvy threatens to demote him.

Notes

• Despite sharing his name with a species of Kremling from the game, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Kutlass looks little like this type of Kremling at all. Instead, Kutlass resembles King K. Rool, but with a lighter scale tone.
• Occasionally, his voice gets switched with Green Kroc's due to internal errors.
