'''Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Dinner''' is a {{wp|macaroni and cheese}} product from {{wp|Kraft Foods}} consisting of dry macaroni and powdered cheese. In the 1990s, there have been a few promotional tie-ins involving the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. The first tie-in, which occurred some time in 1990, was centered around the first ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', and its box specified it as pasta and cheese. The second tie-in, which occurred around 1993 and 1994, involved the greater [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]], most notably ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Despite this, it was titled '''''Super Mario Bros.'' Macaroni & Cheese Dinner''' in advertisements and retained the ''Super Mario Bros.'' title on the box. The front box of the second tie-in product had artwork of [[Cape Mario]], a form which originated in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

Both Kraft tie-in products had gameplay advice branded as "power tips." The first tie-in product had these in the form of a collectible cut-out card on the back of the box, which had only one of 20 different types of power tip cards. The second tie-in product had the entire back of the box dedicated to a numbered power tip. Power Tip #2 was dedicated to secret areas in the [[Space Zone]] in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', and was illustrated by a few custom-made graphics.

The first tie-in product had six different shapes: [[Mario]], [[Super Mushroom|Magic Mushroom]], [[Super Star|Starman]], [[Piranha Plant|Pirana Plant]],{{sic}} [[Bowser]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]. The second tie-in product retained the same shapes but added in [[Yoshi]] as a seventh shape. The spelling for Piranha Plant was also fixed on the box.
