Introduction
Mutation Station is one of several gadgets that are located within the Kinect Fun Labs. They are simple, small games. They do not take long to complete and all feature a common variant of achievements. Mutation Station is a game that simply records a video of yourself with a wacky side effect.

Step 1
Start up a game of Mutation Station. I would make sure there is a lot of room to your left and right because the game locks in your background and if you attempt to move furniture around after you've already started it will cause odd and unwanted effects. You can simply go into the menu and have the sensor reshoot the background if that happens though.

Step 2
After you have started a game step to the left and stand in the transformation station until it transforms you. This will unlock the Back to Reality achievement. Make sure to take note of which transformation ray you were hit by for an achievement that you will later get for partaking in each of the transformations. During your transformation the game will record you and take a couple of photos. Once these are done merely send them off to KinectShare.com and click yes to the sending them to friends option to unlock the Cinematographer and Capture the Magic achievements. If your first transformation happens to be either the one that causes you to bend sideways, or the one that enlarges your head, there are two extra steps you should take while you are transformed. If it is the one that causes you to bend sideways, than stand up on two legs and bend as close as you can to a 90 degree angle to either the left or the right, and then do it to the opposite side that you originally did it on. This will unlock the Happy Bending achievement. If your first transformation consists of your head being enlarged, than you should move your head back and forth as if you were nodding aggressively. You should see your head both grow larger and shrink in this process. This will unlock the Little and Large achievement.

Step 3
After your initial transformation you will need to transform into every other transformation state in the same session (meaning you can't back out into the main menu or the dashboard) in order to gain the Perfect Professor achievement. During these transformations be sure to record and send videos and photos twice more (for a total of three times) in the same play through in order to unlock the Serial Shapeshifter achievement.

Step 4
The only achievement that is left is the Fire Both Barrels achievement that requires either a second person or an object you can use to trick the Kinect sensor into being a second person. Once the Kinect sensor recognizes that there is a second person on the screen it will add a transformation ray option to the computer screen on the bottom left hand side of the screen. I personally used a bar stool that I placed against the wall and a pillow. I waved the pillow in front of the camera until it registered it as a person. I then placed it on the bar stool which I had sitting in the line of sight that would place it in the transformation ray's computer module on the left side. It will bring up a green check mark when it has registered that the "person" is ready to be transformed. I then took my place on the right side in front of the computer module. It transformed us both and the Fire Both Barrels achievement unlocked.

Conclusion
Congratulations. You have just finished up one of the quickest completions I have ever seen. This entire game can be finished in less than 10 minutes if your stuff uploads quickly and you are able to get the second person registered easily.

There are 8 achievements with a total of 50 points

  • Experience your first complete transformation (primary player rewarded)

    (1)  

    Start up the game and transform yourself for the first time by stepping into the computer module area on the left side of the screen and waiting for the bar to fill up.

  • Activate the second transformation beam (primary player rewarded)

    (4)  

    Have a friend join you, or use an object that can trick the Kinect sensor into recognizing it as a second person. I used a pillow and bar stool. Once the Kinect sensor recognizes that there is a second person in the screen, the computer module on the right side of the screen will feature the same image of the computer module on the left side of the screen. All you need to do is place your object or friend in the area of one of the computer modules so that a checkmark comes up then stand in place of the other until the transformation ray activates.

  • Bend your body as much as you can in two directions (primary player rewarded)

    (7)  

    Have the transformation ray that causes the top half of your body to appear lopsided transform you. After you are transformed stand straight up with your legs close together and proceed to bend as close to a 90 degree angle to the left or the right as you can. Once you have done that proceed to bend to the other side using the same tactic.

  • Fully inflate and fully deflate your head (primary player rewarded)

    (1)  

    Have the transformation ray that causes your head to appear enlarged transform you. After you are transformed proceed to move your head back and forth like you are nodding aggressively. You should notice on screen that your head while you are doing this will appear very large when it is at the top of the nod, and it will appear shrunken when it is at the bottom of the nod. After both the enlarged and shrunken states are caused this achievement will unlock.

  • Share a video on KinectShare.com (primary player rewarded)

    While you are transformed a video recorder will pop up and be recording you. At the end of your transformation you will be shown the pictures and the video that were taken of you during your transformation. Click on the video and click yes to both the questions asked.
  • Share a photo on KinectShare.com (primary player rewarded)

    While you are transformed a video recorder will pop up and be recording you. At the end of your transformation you will be shown the pictures and the video that were taken of you during your transformation. Click on one of the pictures and click yes to both the questions asked.

  • Share content three times in one play session (primary player rewarded)

    (2)  

    You will need to share at least three pieces of content, photos or videos, during a single session. This would be best accomplished while you are pursing Perfect Professor since there are more than three transformation options to choose from while doing Perfect Professor and that achievement also requires a single session.

  • Discover each of the different transformation effects in one play session (primary player rewarded)

    (2)  

    You will need to use every single transformation in a single session in order to unlock this achievement. Just keep track of the transformation images that pop up on the screen and transform into the ones that you have not all transformed into. The transformation options include fat, short, muscular, big head, lopsided, and warped (the image of a person being cut down the middle).
