'''Kutlass''' are small, green members of the [[Kremling Krew]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. Kutlasses wear pirate hats with a large red feather in them, as well as a black vest. Kutlasses also carry twin swords which are much too big for them; the game's manual humourously says that they ordered them off of an infomercial and that they looked smaller on television. Though the swords are their strengths, capable of counter-attacking [[jump]]s, they can also be their weakness. They swing the swords downward with such force that they get stuck in the ground, leaving them open to attack.

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, but it lifts its swords back up 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. A Kutlass can be defeated either from an object being thrown at it (such as a [[barrel]] or a [[Cannonball|kannonball]]), from a [[team up]] throw, or an attack from an [[Animal Friend]], such as [[Squitter]]'s web projectiles. In the cast roll, a Kutlass appears as part of the [[Kremling Kuthroats]]. Kutlasses have a variant named [[Klank]], which ride [[Roller Coaster]]s in the amusement park levels.


In later levels of the game a darker version of Kutlass is encountered. These Kutlasses are faster to attack and can pull their swords out of the ground faster.
In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], Kutlasses and Klanks use a higher pitched edit of voice clips used by [[Kosha]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''.


Kutlasses resemble [[Klank]]s (to the point of being identical), another type of [[Kremling]]. They also have a slight resemblance to [[Bazuka]]s and [[Kopter]]s yet more types of Kremlings.

Kutlass, Donkey Kong Country: Rescue on Crocodile Isle

Kutlasses are enemies appearing in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest only. They are small Kremlings wield two large cutlass swords roughly the size of their body. 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 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, but it lifts its swords back up 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. A Kutlass can be defeated either from an object being thrown at it (such as a barrel or a kannonball), from a team up throw, or an attack from an Animal Friend, such as Squitter's web projectiles. In the cast roll, a Kutlass appears as part of the Kremling Kuthroats. Kutlasses have a variant named Klank, which ride Roller Coasters in the amusement park levels.

In the remake, Kutlasses and Klanks use a higher pitched edit of voice clips used by Koshas in Donkey Kong 64.
