The '''Mobile Trainer''' is the operation software for [[Nintendo]] and [[wikipedia:Mobile21|Mobile21]]'s now defunct (as of December 14, 2002) [[Mobile System GB]] service, designed for both [[Game Boy Color]] and [[Game Boy Advance]].

The Mobile Trainer was originally planned to be released as the '''Mobile Starter Cartridge''', but the name was later changed, perhaps to allude to Pokémon Trainers, as the Japanese ''[[bulbapedia:Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal Version]]'' was one of the intended games to use it.

The Mobile Trainer was intended to be used for the combination of a peripheral known as the [[nwiki:Mobile GB Adapter|Mobile GB Adapter]] and Japanese mobile phones to connect to the World Wide Web, similar to services such as [[Satellaview]], [[Randnet]], and its successors such as the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] and [[Nintendo Network]]. This included games relevant to the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], such as ''[[Mobile Golf]]'' and the Japanese version of ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''.

The Mobile Trainer's main purpose was as operation software for configuring the Game Boy Color<!--(and possibly Game Boy Advance?)--> with the user's mobile phone. However, the Mobile Trainer could also be used to connect to a limited web browser for news, and to send email between friends.

==Relevance to the ''Mario'' franchise==
The Mobile GB Adapter was packaged with this software, but there was also a bundle including it and ''Mobile Golf''. Furthermore, both ''Mobile Golf'' and ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' were advertised on the software's web browser, [http://archive.is/ng1LF according to Nintendo Online Magazine].

In 2016, a dataminer with the pseudonym Háčky documented that hidden ''Mario'' related emails with an unknown purpose can be found within the code. (The other non-''Mario'' related messages can be seen [https://tcrf.net/Mobile_Trainer here].)
