What could be wrong with my game "MarioKart" for GameCube ?

It used to play, but now…whenever I try to play it, it will come on for a couple of minutes, then stop and it says “cannot read disk” or something like that.

I’ve tried blowing the inside of the GameCube where the game goes, and I have tried wiping the disk off…but it didn’t work.

Other games work just fine in the GameCube.

Can anyone help me out by telling me what may be wrong, and what I can do? I really want to play it again. :/

Answer #1

Maybe it’s scratched due to excessive play. Or the lens is really dirty.

Answer #2

Yeah, that is what I was thinking too

Answer #3

I have Mario Kart for Gamecube for over a year and it still works for me…

Answer #4

it sounds like the disk is dirty or scratched. Try using a disk cleaning system. If the disk is scratched a cleaner may not be able to cure the fault, but it is often possible to “repair” the scratch by rubbing it with toothpaste, then cleaning off all the residue …..

….. however, I would only recommend doing that as a last resort.

Answer #5

I’m kind of scared to use toothpaste, I seen someone do that to a disk…and it came out more scratched than before! :/

Answer #6

Yes that is why I said “… I would only recommend doing that as a last resort …”.

However I know several people who have done this successfully ( including myself ! ).

explaining how it can be done despite the dangers. I assure you I have restored full functionality of disks with the toothpaste trick (having exhausted all other possibilities first ! )

Answer #9

Thank you so much! :] I used your links, and I cleaned the disk with toothpaste. It worked! :D
