Well I know nothing of wii u, but I have plonty of games that are on disc, and all it looks like is the paint is coming off. If so there is nothing you can do unless you can find someone that can repaint it. Eather way if it still plays then then you don't really need paint on it as long as you know what game is what.

Well then you have see if there is scraches, or finger princes on the other side, and if you can't get them off there is nothing can do, if too much stuff is on other side it won't play. So look at it and see, but if it is scraches you can't remove them, so hope it's not that. I had to buy a new ps game because of it.

Fixing discs can be hard because they are delicately coded. IF you have a substance covering the disc that can either clear it up or give some highlight to the coding then it can work. In my experience, and dont judge me, but when i was a kid I would rub water and sweat on the disc so it so it would be shiny. It is just wierd. Im sorry i can be of much help if any.

@MajinZane96 How did you even sweat enough to clean a disc?

You used toothpaste to clean your game disc?!?!? Toothpaste contains abrasives to scrub your teeth clean. You may as well have washed the game disc with sand. While the game may look clean and shiny there are tons of micro scratches on it from the toothpaste, possibly obscuring the the laser from reading the disc properly.
Also, if the foil inside the disc is in any way compromised (which is hard to tell for me from the picture with all the missing paint); this is where the data is stored that is read by the laser in you Wii/Wii U. If the foil film is scratched at all you're going to have to buy a new game disc. I'm sorry.
The best way to clean a game disc or CD is gently rinse it off with water, ordinary water, this will remove any dust/grit/grime that may scratch the disc. Then take a lint free cloth dampened with again water (avoid circular motions) and wipe gently from the center to the out side edges. This is done only to clean the disc not repair any scratches or damage. Also, don't use any soaps or chemicals as they may have detrimental effects on the disc. Use water or cleaners approved for cleaning a game disc or CD.
Using sweat to clean a game disc that's just gross. Also sweat contains salts and oils your body produces which can make it difficult for a disc to be read (why finger prints smudges can make a game difficult for the game system to read). Just think of the residue building up inside your game system if you did that frequently. Gross!!
