GameCube memory cards can reformat when something is wrong with the memory card, such as it becoming corrupt. You can also reformat the memory card manually through the GameCube's memory card manager.

It needs format because formatting is what makes the memory card available for use. If it wasn't formatted it wouldn't be able to write data on to the memory card.

Memory cards can get corrupted for many reasons, including removing it while the Gamecube/Wii is writing data to it, an error with the Gamecube/Wii, or an error with the card itself.
