'''Kutlasses''' are small enemies and members of the [[Kremling Krew]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They are one of the enemies who do not reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''.
If a Kutlass notices [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]], it runs toward them and tries to slash them with its swords. If the Kutlass misses the Kongs, its swords hit the ground, though the Kutlass lifts up its swords after a few seconds. Kutlasses always hold up their swords except when they attack. The Kongs take damage if they are slashed by Kutlass's swords or try to jump on Kutlass while its swords are up. A Kutlass is vulnerable to a jump attack if its swords are on the ground. Regardless of how Kutlasses hold their swords, they can be defeated by throwing an object (such as a [[barrel]] or a [[Cannonball|kannonball]]), using a [[team up]] throw, or with help from an [[Animal Friend]], such as from [[Squitter]]'s web projectiles. In the ending's Cast of Characters, a Kutlass is classified under the [[Kremling Kuthroats]] category.


Kutlasses appear as either yellow or green. They wear a pirate hat and a black vest, and carry two large {{wp|cutlass}} swords around with them, hence their name. Official artwork also shows that Kutlass has three toes on each foot, and the Kremling Krew insignia and red feathers on its hat. According to the game's manual, Kutlasses ordered their swords from an infomercial, which looked smaller on television. Their swords are about the height of their body.
Kutlasses appear in the following levels in the following colors: [[Krockhead Klamber (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Krockhead Klamber]] (yellow); [[Rambi Rumble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Rambi Rumble]] (yellow); [[Gusty Glade (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Gusty Glade]] (yellow); [[Web Woods (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Web Woods]] (green); [[Windy Well (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Windy Well]] (green); [[Castle Crush]] (yellow); [[Chain Link Chamber (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Chain Link Chamber]] (both colors); [[Jungle Jinx (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Jungle Jinx]] (yellow); and lastly [[Fiery Furnace (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Fiery Furnace]] (green).


Kutlasses resemble another type of Kremling enemy, [[Klank]]s, who ride in [[Roller Coaster]]s in amusement park levels.
In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], a [[photograph]] of Kutlass can be obtained in Rambi Rumble, and it appears on the sixth page of the [[Scrapbook (Donkey Kong Country series)|Scrapbook]]. In the same version, Kutlasses (as well as Klanks) use the same voice clips as [[Kosha]]s, similar enemies from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', but at a higher pitch.

==Profiles and statistics==
Kutlasses appear in the later levels. If a Kutlass notices [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] it sprints toward them, attempting to slash them with their two swords. If the Kutlass misses the Kongs, its swords hit the ground, though within a few seconds, the Kutlass lifts up its swords again. Kutlasses almost always hold up their swords, which protect them the [[Kong]]s' jump attack. By attempting to jump on a Kutlass, the lead Kong gets injured, and the player loses that Kong. Kutlasses are only open to a jump attack is when its swords are on the ground. Even if their swords are up, Kutlass can still be defeated by a throwable object (such as a [[barrel]]) or a [[team-up]] throw. They can also be defeated by an [[Animal Friend]].

—Kutlass, Donkey Kong Country: Rescue on Crocodile Isle

Kutlasses are small members of the Kremling Krew that wield two large cutlass swords about the size of their body. They appear only in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, as enemies. Kutlasses have either a yellow or a green body, the latter of which has quicker movements. They wear a black vest and a pirate hat which has the Kremling Krew insignia and red feathers on the side. Artwork shows that Kutlasses have three toes on each foot. They are said to have ordered their swords from an infomercial, which looked smaller on television.[1] Kutlasses have a variant named Klank, who ride Roller Coasters in a few of the amusement park levels. Kutlasses are named after cutlass swords, but with a 'k' in place of a 'c'.

If a Kutlass notices Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong, it runs toward them and tries to slash them with its swords. If the Kutlass misses the Kongs, its swords hit the ground, though the Kutlass lifts up its swords after a few seconds. Kutlasses always hold up their swords except when they attack. The Kongs take damage if they are slashed by Kutlass's swords or try to jump on Kutlass while its swords are up. A Kutlass is vulnerable to a jump attack if its swords are on the ground. Regardless of how Kutlasses hold their swords, they can be defeated by throwing an object (such as a barrel or a kannonball), using a team up throw, or with help from an Animal Friend, such as from Squitter's web projectiles. In the ending's Cast of Characters, a Kutlass is classified under the Kremling Kuthroats category.

Kutlasses appear in the following levels in the following colors: Krockhead Klamber (yellow); Rambi Rumble (yellow); Gusty Glade (yellow); Web Woods (green); Windy Well (green); Castle Crush (yellow); Chain Link Chamber (both colors); Jungle Jinx (yellow); and lastly Fiery Furnace (green).

In the Game Boy Advance version, a photograph of Kutlass can be obtained in Rambi Rumble, and it appears on the sixth page of the Scrapbook. In the same version, Kutlasses (as well as Klanks) use the same voice clips as Koshas, similar enemies from Donkey Kong 64, but at a higher pitch.

Kutlasses are one of the few enemies from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest to not return in Donkey Kong Land 2.
