A friend’s Wii was having issues only with the new Smash Bros and he tried another disc and had the same issue. I was asking some of my contacts about it and a friend pointed me to this link and here is what Nintendo has to say:

Super Smash Bros. Brawl utilizes a double-layer disc which has a large memory capacity. A very small percentage of Wii consoles may have trouble consistently reading data off this large capacity disc if there is some contamination on the lens of the disc drive. Nintendo has specialized cleaning equipment that can resolve this problem. (Please do NOT attempt to clean the lens yourself, as you may damage the system.)

Unfortunately, you have to send your Wii in for repair, which stinks, but is better than buying a whole new Wii or just not playing SSBB. I’m not sure about the shipping because you have to fully fill out the form before they present you with the shipping options so if anyone has tried it out I would be interested in finding out about it. Please leave a comment if you have had success with this process.
