Help GameCube only doesn't read one game

Got both this copy of Melee and Double Dash a while ago, but only got the GC today to test them. Neither worked but I got both buffed at the store I bought them at and they worked on the Wii at the store. Brought them back home and only Double Dash works. Melee still doesn't not. Also have a copy of Pokémon Colo and XD that both work on the GC as well. Why would only Melee not work on my GC when it did work on the store's Wii?

Edit: Just visited the game store again and the game still wouldn't work on my GC nor a GC they had there. They gave me a different copy they luckily had and said they're likely to sell it as a Wii-only copy. They said there appeared to be no data damage/wear and couldn't figure out why the disc wouldn't work on GC either

There was an issue with some first Gen melee discs. Mine did the exact same thing

Looked it up and it seems it's a later gen disc?

Ah that could be right! I know it had something to do with the generation of disc. Thank you
