The Cheetos game was mentioned in another thread, and it made me think about other games with such mascots in them.
The Spot games (featuring the old 7*Up mascot) are usually the first ones I think of. There was a puzzle/board game and Cool Spot, the action game, that I can remember offhand.
There was a Japanese beat 'em-up called UFO Kamen Yakisoban that featured the noodle mascot trying to beat up thugs but failing because of awful collision detection.
I also remember Yo! Noid for the NES, which featured the Domino's Pizza mascot.
Pepsiman for Playstation featured the clumsy Japanese Pepsi mascot on his mission to quench the collective thirst of the masses.
And, of course, Chester Cheetah's Cheetos game.
Are there any other such games?

Spot, from what I remember, was actually pretty fun for a game built around an advertisement.
What about the McDonald games? I don't remember the names though...

Also McDonalds Treasure Land Adventure on the Genesis. A damn fine platformer by Treasure.
Japan got a Game Boy Color game which simulated working at McDonald's. WTF Japan.
There was KOOL-AID MAN on the Atari 2600, which is really, really fun.
The GBC and PSX got games starring the M&M's.
And on the fringe of this category there is Coke Wins for the 2600 and Chex Quest for PC.

I have that game, wish I knew japanese so I could fully enjoy it because as of now I've only played it once and I just keep just for that wtf factor.

Do you have a pic or link to a site for more info on this one? I wonder if the game includes the synthesized voice of the manager yelling at you to hurry up all the time ????? LOL

Run Like Hell used Red Bull. However, are you talking about product placement, or the actual mascot?

There was another Dominos mascot game, called Avoid the Noid. It was for Commodore 64 and DOS.

Actually it used Bawls. A highly caffeinated drink marketed towards gamers.

And Treasure Island for Genesis.
All 3 of the above McDonald games were pretty damn good too, MC Kids being one of my favorite games of all time.

In a singularly bizarre marketing tie-in, Lemmings 3D rather extensively featured Jelly Belly jellybeans. (Apparently some versions of the game even included a free sample.)
