No, you don't need "many mutations" (although, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "many"). It occurs over billions of years, so there is no need for speed in this sense. Evolution is an incredibly slow process with subtle changes happening over millions of years....you need the mutations to be many, so that you get new things to select, and get a new specie. But then many mutations mean lots of corruption. The model doesn't work out.
* By changes, I mean the budding of new species.
