Sente Mini Golf is a miniature golf course for 4 video arcade gamers. It follows the standard of having 18 holes, each with their own par (number of strokes (hits to the ball) really necessary to complete the hole).

Additionally in this arcade game, every hole starts with a bonus. After every round, it decreases by 500 points. When it reaches zero, or all players hit their ball into the hole, everyone goes to the next hole.

Also, in the beginning, every player has only 2 holes, meaning that after hole 3, it's game over for them. The less strokes you need below par, the more holes you win and can play. A row of flags below the bonus shows how many holes you would win upon completion.

Music

The game has two themes which are distributed irregularly over 15 holes. Two holes have their own song, and one hole has ambient noise. The background track is occasionally paused by longer sound effects, particularly hole-in-one applause and tunnels.

Recording

To record, the RAM of MAME 0.228 was edited to allow two loops plus 10 seconds of every song during attract mode, where sound effects never play.

The following recordings are inaccurate compared to the real cabinet.
