'''{{wp|Nintendo Cereal System}}''' was a breakfast cereal produced by {{wp|Ralston Purina}}. It began production in 1988 and was discontinued in 1989. It is named after the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], and it promoted both ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]''. The cereal box has two vertical bags inside, dividing the cereal into halves: The left half is the "''Super Mario Bros.'' Action Series," and the right half is the "''Zelda'' Adventure Series." The "''Super Mario Bros.'' Action Series" has fruity-flavored [[Mario]]s, [[Super Mushroom|Mushroom]]s, [[Goomba]]s, [[Koopa Troopa]]s, and [[Bowser|King Koopa]]s. The "''Zelda'' Adventure Series" has berry-flavored [[Link]]s, [[zeldawiki:Heart|heart]]s, [[zeldawiki:Boomerang|boomerang]]s, [[zeldawiki:Key|key]]s, and [[zeldawiki:Shield|shield]]s.

Included in every box of Nintendo Cereal System was a sticker of a [[Nintendo]] character, and the back of every box had a set of twelve trading cards called "Nintendo Power Cards." The boxes also had offers to win a Nintendo Entertainment System Power Set or a {{file link|Mariobowl.jpg|''Super Mario Bros.''-themed cereal bowl}}.
