'''Kutlasses''' are small members of the [[Kremling Krew]] that wield two large {{wp|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.<ref name=manual>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' English instruction booklet. Page 31.</ref> Kutlasses have a variant named [[Klank]], who ride [[Roller Coaster]]s 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 [[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 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).

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]]. 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.

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