What is a valid remix?

When deciding if something is or isn’t a valid remix, we consider if the changes made added something new to the project and were not clearly made to get around our guidelines on remixing. If someone has done something like only changing the title of a project, deleting the original creator’s username from the title page, or scribbling on top of someone else’s art, that is not considered valid. But if they did something like changing the sprite in a platformer or creating a new background for a pong game, that is a valid remix.

Are recolors or traced art considered valid remixes?

Yes. By recoloring the art from another project or tracing art, Scratchers have made a change to the project, so recolors and traced art are valid remixes as long as credit is provided to the original creator.

Any remixes that contains noticeable changes are valid.

I think there needs to be more rule it should be a significant change like new physics, costumes, game name, new abilities stuff like that

Noticeable changes are not always considered “meaningful” enough to be a valid remix. You could put a random shape but that wouldn't be considered meaningful. It must have a meaningful change that sets it apart from the original project.

That sounds too specific for how broad a project could be. What we could resort to is just telling people that they have to make a meaningful change when they remix. What is not meaningful is easily picked out by the majority (excluding recolors).
