I've looked around seeing if this happens to other people.. I didn't find anyone in my exact situation but I have seen people mention that SPM is the first game to really freeze their wii

well I can't complete the game unless I get into the door with the Red Apple Tree

problem is it freezes and makes a loud buzzing noise every time i enter it.. i even waited overnight to see if maybe it was just too hot

I've emailed nintendo but I'm not sure if this is some hardware or software related problem... none of my other games have done this

 

anyways, any advice or people with similar issues? thanks

ok so now its pretty much any screen.. though the warp pipe next to the save file worked

tried copying my save file and trying that, tried cleaning the system and the disk

i cant figure out why it keeps going black and making a buzzing noise

The only game to freeze my wii was SSX Blur. its probably just the disc. Try cleaning it or checking that your wii is not too hot.

Let your Wii cool off...take a break from it. It only happened to me once while playing Super Paper Mario (seems to be the most common amongst players) in Chapter 4-1. The only way to end the buzzing and restart my Wii was to pull the plug (trust me).

This happened a few years ago with my Gamecube as well...but only twice. I have no explanation as to why it does this...my only solution is to either take a break from your Wii or call Nintendo (and tell them that you are certainly not the only person with this problem).

But it's not the system. It has to be a software error. That would be one of the only possible explanations since it happened with my Gamecube a while back. That, and most people are having this error with Super Paper Mario. I've herad of one person having this happen to them while playing Twilight Princess for the Wii, but that's about it. 

Come to think of it I remember someone saying it happened to them with their Playstation 2, and another person replied saying that he thought it was a TV error--that the TV was causing those problems...which could be another possibility. I personally don't see this as a huge problem as it doesn't really happen to me very often at all. It's happened a total of 3 years to me in roughly 5 years...but your case, it freezing very often I would definitely call Nintendo and get this fixed right away.

Just make sure it is not overheating.  I have not heard of this with anyone else.

you sound like your situation is similar to mine, the only way to stop it is to unplug it

(actually the power on the remote doesnt work, but on the system it does now) 

im in chapter 7-3

and the only other game to freeze my system was SSX Blur I believe

 

infact, it was very hot after I first discovered this problem.. but I wasn't even playing that long

the next day i tried it again to see if it was a heat issue, but it still gave me problems

in my case though, it's EVERY time I try to progress in this game... maybe I'll try hooking the set up to another TV

 

 im on the phone with them right now actually, i gotta say, they're really helpful

they're gonna send me something so I can ship the game to them for free... then they can see if its a software or hardware issue when they send me back a repaired game
