Just handle it carefully when you put it back in the box.

Maybe the people packaging it messed up. Did you get a product warranty deal from the retailer you bought the game from? For example, EB Games will replace your game if it gets scratched a month after purchase.

I got it at GameStop. Do they replace it there?

In case of defect, yes. Just bring it in and tell them you opened it that way, your average Gamestop employee doesn't give a crap enough to investigate or interrogate.

>source: I was an ASM at Gamestop for a very long time.

Thank you for the info. I will go there later. Also, could it be my Wii U doing the scratching?

Yes, if you're moving it around while the disc is spinning or if the spinning mechanism is out of place. Try playing a few other games, if they come out OK then it's probably just a one-of situation.

I own many Wii U games and Smash and Mario Kart 8 are the only ones that have this.

I've never seen this happen with a Wii U, but I used to see it with XBox360s all the time. Never Playstations.

Doesn't mean it can't happen. I'd look around for a Nintento certified repair shop in your area, they'll consult you for free.

that's cuz loads of people would stand them up vertical which almost always ****ed their discs
didn't help that them 360s didn't use blu-ray either

@OP you probably bought a ****ed up disc

If your game does get scratched and not replaced there are great scratch removers that actually worked for me. One is called Scratch out.

Here in Canada, you can buy warranty for a few bucks. It's worth trying to replace the disk if the scratches bother you.
