Scratches on Discs. OH NO. You have a game you treated like China, it gets scratched and now you have to buy a new copy. But on Gamecube games for some reason (and possibly because of their size) they sometimes read the scratches and then work fine. I only know this because I have a copy of Melee that has a scratch on four characters (sorted from more likely to load to near-impossible to load): Samus, Ganon, Mr.G&M, and sadly, Yoshi loads the worst. He NEVER loads. This made clearing events like Puffballs unite, The Yoshi Herd, and Yoshi's egg impossible!
And then, one day on classic, on the first match which was DR.Mario VS Yoshi, he loaded. I thought this was a miracle! And before that classic attempt, Samus loaded for the first time in YEARS! When this happened, I thought to myself, "How does the game load this stuff?" and I realized it. Load. The word that stood out in that thought was load. I remembered when I played my copy of Brawl, SMG2, Super Mario Wii (which is BEYOND repair), and they wouldn't load. I bought a new copy of Brawl. My old wii's lens were dirty, so I had to put in the scratched version of Brawl (which worked fine, both game & system were from the same year) before putting in the new one to get it to load.
That's when I realized it: "I can RELOAD the game's data... WITHOUT resetting, CLEANING, and ever having to worry about another scratched disc! In order to reload a game's data and basically have it work fine, you have to do what you would usually do to load a game. If it's already in the system, you would open the cover, see the game in there, and close the lid. EXACTLY how to reload a game, open the cover, close the lid, and the screen should say "reading the game disc..." and although it may take a few tries... IT. WILL. WORK.
If that was too difficult to understand, i'll put it like this: It's like switching out disc 1 for disc 2 on a game such as Resident Evil, but you don't actually switch out the game. Just press OPEN, and close the lid. Though make sure you DO clean it once in a while, because if you do, the game will have a much better time working. Samus NEVER freezes the game anymore!
Also, i'm pretty sure it would also work on the Wii in the way that I got my copy of Brawl to work: Take out the disc, put it back in. Definitely more tedious than the Gamecube though.
