Game Boy Wars 3 also included [[Mobile System GB]] support while it was available. Using the service, it was possible to download new maps designed by gaming magazine editor(s), as well as mercenaries/[[unit]]s and news from the [[Wars Net Center]].
The maps cost 30 yen each (excluding tax). Players could summon a mercenary unit for 10 yen each (excluding tax). Other features (receiving a Mobile Medal, Welcome Message and mobile notifications) were free of charge.
Wars Net Center messages can be viewed from the main menu by selecting Network, then メッセージをよむ (Read Messages). Two other options from that menu are マップデータをダウンロード (Map Data Download) and センターにアクセス (Center Access). Once downloaded, the maps are stored as files from the main menu's Map menu. Downloadable maps include a limited number of official maps, as well as user-generated content.
Names for maps 1001-1008 are known, as retrieved by the REON Discord group from a second-hand Game Boy Wars 3 cartridge with Wars Net Center data.<ref>Wars Net Center: 「スペシャルマップ 」 (Special Maps) - September 5</ref>. Additionally, the REON group found another second-hand save file with relevant data. It contains the downloaded maps 1001-1003.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYgbUM5JDj4 Game Boy Wars 3 (ゲームボーイウォーズ３) DLC Maps 1001-1003 Dream Show Archipelago, Dengeki Area, 64+ Special]</ref>

== Campaign Mode ==
The game's Campaign Mode is unique in the series, though it parallels the [https://fireemblemwiki.org Fire Emblem] games to an extent, in that the player can redeploy units that have survived previous battles, and this results in the unit being able to be deployed at no material cost. This is part of the so-called "Arrangement" system. Unlike other games in the series, the Campaign Mode has multiple endings.
