It really is that simple... or if you don't have a second tag set up, just buddy up with a friend and remix each other's world 10 times for double joy!

I finally unlocked this by creating a world from scratch with my main account then remixing that world 10 times with my secondary account.

Great solution!

After you unlock the achievement, I suggest deleting all the remixes. They don't show up in most feeds, but will show up in search results. By keeping them up, you're making it harder to find worlds that may be going for Rising Star (including your original world).

I seem to be stranded on 70%, despite following the above steps myself on an alternate account, and getting others to remix one of my worlds. Is there a time delay on this? Any other ideas how to get the additional 3 remixes?

I have pretty much cleaned this game up and I will be pissed if this is the only achievement left locked come closure time.

R1KM4N, I know what you mean. My counter has been really goofy. It has gone from 1 to 3 to 9 to 1 to 2 to 4 to 3 to 4. No idea how, and my challenges show that I have had over 10 worlds remixed. I think it is just really buggy.

As mentioned in a comment above, make sure you are remixing the same original world each time. It's really best to just do it yourself with a second account. That way you know for sure the same world is being used and that all 10 remixes are up simultaneously. You can also delete all the remixes once you have the achievement so as not to clog up anyone's search results.

The in-game challenge counter can't be trusted. It's going to count remixes of any of your worlds, not just the one you're working on. It may even count remixes of remixes, since TD hoped to give some credit for those. Also, the counter won't go down when a remix is deleted, but you need 10 active remixes of the same world to get the Catalyst achievement.

MathGuy42, I did create a second account last night and did just that. Unless it is just really slow at updating and counting. I used my secondary to remix 3 different worlds (one which I made exclusively to remix) 10 times each. I'm thinking its just super buggy on how its counting. More testing is needed.

I do appreciate the info.

Yeah just to update, I got it by having the same world remixed. That was my initial issue, I thought it was cumulative. Thanks for clarifying.

R1KM4N, glad it worked for you.

Rebelegacy, I only see one remix when I look at your world's lineage. There should be 10.

When doing the 10 remixes with one secondary account, you need to exit the editor each time. You should be hitting the Remix button 10 times on your original world's info screen. If you just Save + Share 10 times inside the editor, each remix will be overwritten. Sorry I didn't think of this sooner; I did this achievement about 18 months ago.

This isn't working for me. I've tried all manner of methods. Different gamertags, completely fresh worlds. Must of done it over 40 times and only got it to count 3 times :(.

Plenty say it doesn't unlock with their secondary account(s).

After finding the relevant world; this has always worked for me...

1. Select "Remix".
2. Press cn_start.
3. Select "Save".
4. Select "Save + Share".
5. Select "Save".
6. Select "New".
7. Select "Visible".
8. Select "OK".
9. Select "Exit".

Repeat nine more times.

It worked for me with my secondary account. Just make sure when you enter the 'Save' menu that you edit the name to add a number at the end of the title. That way you can keep track of your remixes.

Despite having 5 remixes of my worlds done by randoms already, I still had to do 10 on one world to get this achievement.

If you're having issues with this achievement being stuck at a certain percentage...
Make sure you are remixing the original every time.
Also - when remixing, you can leave it exactly the same. And while you can leave the name the same for all of them as you remix, I added a number at the end to keep track.
After remixing and hitting Save+Share, hit exit and go back into remix (don't touch the save/save as/new project buttons).

MathGuy42 - no worries. that's probably what I was doing wrong. I was saving the world, but don't remember fully if I left the window all the way back. I will try some more later today and see what happens from there.

Thank you for the info and feedback.

Nevermind... It does work the but the achievement title is misleading. You have to have the same original world remixed 10 times. It can't be multiple worlds.

Make sure you remix the original 10 times and don't remix a remix. Meaning go back to the original world, choose remix, save and share, quit and find the original world again.

After months of trying to figure out how to get this achievement completed, I finally figured out how to get it. You have to have 10 copies of your world published at the same time. What I ended up doing was creating 4 new gamer tags, and have them remix and save/share that world 3 times per gamer tag. Once you have 10 copies of that world actively being shared, your achievement should pop up (took about 5 minutes for me) after you log back in with your main account.

PS you can only create 3 new outlook accounts per day.

Can you get XBL banned for this, or is it perfectly fine for me to make as many accounts as I want?

I never heard of anyone getting banned from creating new accounts. They aren't linked to your main account. Think i'm up to 24 new accounts now :)

I'm not going to even tell you how many accounts I made for my GRAW ladder a few years back. (I made a spreadsheet to keep track of them all.) Been wondering if Dakota keeps track of such things, but the reality is that even so, it's not possible to boost the higher level cheeves like that.

If anyone needs help with this one, just join my session and send me a message. Due to a recent glitch I have many more upload slots than the average player, so I can easily remix a world 10 times in about 10 minutes (load times being what they are).

Does this perhaps only work on worlds you have created from scratch? I have more than 10 remixes of a world, but I didn't originally create it.

I created a world. It has been legit remixed and shared by 10 different users. My achievement progress still shows at 10% = This achievement is BUGGED / GLITCHED / BROKEN!

I have also remixed and shared all 10 of the worlds that were remixed by others from my original world. So including my original world, there are 21 shared versions of this world (11 from me and 10 from others).....still only 10% complete...whatever.

If anyone else would want to remix it to try to help, search for "Let's get these ACHIEVEMENTS!" A thumbs up, favorite and follow would also be appreciated.

Here's an update. My world has now been remixed by 40 different users. It has been remixed multiple times by many and is shared over 50 times.

In the Challenges / Milestones section on "Get Remixed" it is showing I am 80% complete on getting 20 remixes (so that means the game recognizes at least 16 of mt real remixes). Yet the achievement progress is only 20% complete on reaching the 10 needed for the achievement.

Update on UGC Moderation Policy

maybe you should add a note to your guide so we can keep the community feed clean and the secondary account account won't be banned from uploading

After stressing over this I discovered some things. It does not matter how many times a world you have created is being shared. I created a world "Let's get these ACHIEVEMENTS!". If you search for that world it is listed over 100 times...yet my achievement progress was only showing as 20% complete. I thought this meant this achievement was obviously broken.

After looking into things I noticed that the world I created was only directly remixed by 2 others. All of the other 100+ worlds had branched off of those other 2 users.

So what the achievement really needs to unlock is for your world to be DIRECTLY remixed 10 times. If someone remixes your world, but that was remixed from another user you DO NOT get credit toward unlocking the achievement.

With the Project Spark update to make it free, along with other changes, there is no need to make multiple accounts to do this by yourself. You can simply make one boosting account and directly remix your world 10 times. Log back into your main account and it will unlock.

With the server shutdown this achievement is now unobtainable.


The other guides are great, but this is mainly for the people that have more than 10 remixes and still don't have the achievement. If you have that problem then skip to the bottom. The first part is to explain for anyone just starting.

Creating the remixes

First of all, this is best done with a second account (Gold or Silver membership) or a friend that is online at the same time you can communicate with. Have your friend/second account find the world you want remixed and click "Remix." From there follow the below:

1. Press cn_start
2. Save
3. Save + Share
4. Place in a new slot
5. Make it Visible to all
6. Exit the world

Repeat the process until there are 10 remixed worlds uploaded at the same time. Log in to your main account, or restart the game when your friend says they've done it, and the servers should update and pop the achievement. If not, refer to the below section.

Fixing the remix glitch

I only found this because I had 25 remixed worlds active and only 10% progress. The tracker will only improve if the lineage tab has your world with the creator or co-creator label on it. In my case, the lineage glitched and said "UGC Error." I could earn rewards from the remix, but not the achievement. Just verify that all worlds that are remixed have your account as the next world in the lineage chain and it should pop without a problem. If you find a world that results in the UGC error when remixed, then remix another world on your main account and try it with that one.

Out of courtesy, delete these remixes when you're done so you don't clutter up the feed for those trying to get Rising Star or also want Catalyst. It's also a good way to have your upload privileges revoked, if Team Dakota still enforces that.

If this fixed your progress please leave a comment! I want to make sure this works for people. Hopefully it helps someone.

The solutions already posted have the right idea, but I thought I'd spell out the steps a little more clearly.

1) First, with your main account, create any world. This can be an unchanged remix of an existing world. It does not matter.

2) Now, with your second account, log in to Spark and choose, "Play."

3) Search for your created world, and select "Remix." (You don't have to play it.)

4) Hit the menu button and select Save -> Save As, then change the name slightly. I added "remix 1" to my first remix.

5) Once it saves, select Save-> Save+Share.

6) The game will ask you to select one of 100 save slots. Select "New Slot."

7) The game will ask you if you want the world to be visible. Select "Visible."

8) Once it saves again, select "Exit." You should be back on the info page for the original world. You can repeat steps 3-8 nine more times, then log back in with your first account and the achievement should pop shortly!

To check your progress, go to the info page for your originally created world and tab down to "Lineage." you need the 10 remixes to show up down there. This should only take about 30 minutes, tops.

Thanks to Inferno118 and Sky Dragon 570 for their help!
