    I don't know if it's because it's scratched, but my copy of msrio kart wii, even 7 years ago, would never load Toads Factory or ghost valley 2. Everytime I try, I get the black screen shutdown thst says "an error has occurred". The game also used to not even read for years, but now I just gave it a wipe with a wet paper towel and it plays, but those 2 levels don't load EVER. And I'm betting tried of only playing the first 4 cups, but unlockable CUP or CHARACTER REQUIRES you in one way or another, to play all the levels or half of them and all of them make me play mushroom or shell cup, yet the tracks won't load, making it IMPOSSIBLE for ME to unlock ANYTHING in the game! I don't know if it's because the disc is scratched, or if the game is defective, I seriously don't know. And there's no way for me to fix it because 1. I don't know any places near me that do disc resurfacing 2. Even if I did, I can't drive myself there because I'm too young to have a license, and 3. I'm always broke anyways. Do you guys know of this issue or do you guys have ay fixes that are FREE and I don't need to go anywhere to do it?

      Well, you're wrong it could be fixed and needs proper buffing. If the disc has a scratch that is too deep on the top it cannot be fixed if it is completely blocking the data so it really depends.
