(Sorry in advance for the long post lol) Just experienced a glitch while playing mario kart on my switch that actually kind of scared me for a second. I was doing a race than at some point on the last lap the music suddenly stopped and there were only the sound effects, which was already weird. Then, all of the sudden the game crashed and I got the error screen. At first I was just like “lol Mario kart die” and I tried to re launch the game. But, then I got the error message that says “this game card can’t be read.” I tried taking out the card and putting it back in but then I got the same error again and again which honestly kind of scared me because I thought I might have damaged the game card for good…but then I tried again after awhile and then the game worked fine! It wasn’t lagging one bit either. I’m still really confused as too what caused this… I thought maybe the switch overheated because I was trying out a new arcade style stand I made for it and I haven’t put in a fan yet (though there is some ventilation, don’t worry) but then I took it out and it was not very hot. I know that my switch has gotten way hotter before and ran fine, so I’m not really sure what happened. Do you guys know?
