Wii Sports I downloaded Super Mario 1 and 3. When I am finished playing them and go back to the Wii Menu and try to play Wii Sports (which was already inserted into the console) the game gets to the wrist strap screen, then I hear a clunking from the console and the game freezes. If I shut the console down and restart it, the game works fine with no freeze. Any ideas why this is?

Are you playing Super Mario Smash Brothers?

I have the same problem. Anyone have any ideas?

could be played to much or the disk might be scrached.

It is because you need to do the following things:
unplgg the wii consol.
Then wait 10 minutes.
Plug back up.
Then if still shows call nintendo

You need to call nintendo

I had the same problem. I called wii support (1800-255-3700) and they gave me the solution. Some new games include a wii update that must be installed before the game will work. Insert the disk. When the wii menu comes up point the wii remote at the spinning disc and click A. Follow the instructions for installing the update. Your game will work once the update completes.

Check the system menu for any system updates.

Red means taht your wii is completely shut down

Amber means that it is basically in sleep mode, however if you have it connected to the internet wirelessly it will still get updates while in this mode.

By holding down the power button for 5+ seconds it will go red

Just tapping the power button will make it go Amber (sleep mode).
