| | '''Kutlass''' are small, light-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. |

| '''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.
| | In later levels of the game a dark green version of Kutlass is encountered. These Kutlasses are faster to attack and can pull their swords out of the ground faster. |

|
| 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 [[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. |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | ==Trivia== |
|
| |
|
| Kutlasses are one of the few enemies from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' to not return in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''.
| | * In the [[Donkey Kong Country (show)|Donkey Kong Country animated series]] a character named [[Kutlass (character)|Kutlass]] who was a member of [[Kaptain Skurvy]]'s crew occasionally appeared. Kutlass did not resemble the game Kutlass at all, resembling [[King K. Rool]] more. |
| ==Profiles and statistics==
| | *Kutlass' name is based on the [[wikipedia:cutlass|cutlass]], a kind of sword commonly used by pirates and the kind of sword Kutlass uses. |
| *'''Instruction booklet:''' ''Kutlass mail-ordered his razor-sharp swords from a TV offer. They turned out to be a little bigger than they looked on his small screen.''<ref name=manual/> | |
