There are a ton of Japanese wikis that have all of the combos. Should I translate them for you guys or want to add them yourselves?
Here you go: http://wikiwiki.jp/kairopark/?%B3%AB%C5%B9%A5%C7%A5%D1%A1%BC%A5%C8%C6%FC%B5%AD (what a funky link) The combos are in the chart with the blue column.
Yes the effects do stack. I created a Chinese buffet with the effects Snack and Crowd. Initially it had one service (egg rolls). After the two effects its price went from 600 to 4,100 which is 35 (20+15) and its rep went from low to good. The service did not affect rep level.
Maybe just clear up any ambiguities in the Google translated version? That would certainly be helpful. Thanks!
I have made a small spreadsheet with the info I could get from in-game with some help from the Japanese wiki for the last 7 combos. I didn't unlock a couple rooms, so I don't have their size in squares. http://www.mediafire.com/?5xt2cnzfnop5nye The total size column refers to how many squares that combo requires. However, keep in mind that if combining combos, the total space required is NOT the sum of the two rows, but rather, the sum minus the repeating store size. The "Have It" column is just a Yes or No you can switch to turn highlighting on/off. And the highlight box lets you select a store to see where it appears in the combos. NOTE: The list does NOT contain ALL stores. Only those stores that appear in one or more combos.
I'm a two star mall at the moment, and have all of the challenges for the third done except the "build a service C" one. Help? Thanks! Never mind. found it. Hate this: I've lost atleast 150 hearts to very difficult new services.
With services, the first two are okay when your store is at level 1. The third is good at level 2, and then for the rest you have to wait until level 6 or 7 before you really have a decent chance of success.
Oh, ok thanks! That's the only think that Kairosoft games are lacking; a proper tutorial. Even the 'how to play' doesn't cover everything.
Someone's already done most of the translating. Here: http://kairospot.net/threads/mega-mall-story-guide-walkthrough-contributions.618/#post-5164
