This lists all the "plug-ins" for the Kegon Falls scenario. Instead of stars, you get "Cherry Blossom" (star 1), "Bamboo" (star 2), and "Pine" (star 3). "Pine" does not actually add any new items you didn't already have. As far as strategy is concerned, Kegon Falls is really easy. The falls animation is easily one of the best parts of this (does not work with Mac OS 9.2 for some reason, we'll get to that later) and changes seasonally. For this one, you just have to add hotel rooms (a mix of both works well) to the bottom, with a cluster of restaurants and shops (I used the Kirinn Bunnylin FAQ ("A Misacrope's Guide and Commentary for Yoot Tower") to see which restaurants work and which ones don't, at least according to default statistics. You can gnaw away at the walls to see how far hotel rooms can go, and you'll soon discover the spa, which I placed toward the upper level. The spa helps the tower go through the winter months. (It's usually found on building in the fifth to seventh basement). When the hotel population hits 200 you'll be greeted by Niagra Joe. Make him happy, build your pagoda attraction on top and keep building those hotel rooms down.
The Kirinn Bunnylin FAQ suggests that the "Attraction " will be upgraded after a daily patronage of 200 visitors within one day with a tower upgraded soon after. But that's just not true. It has to be related to the population, during peak times the building would hit over 1000 people, and still nothing (and this is only with rooms down to B12). It turns out that the in-CD fold guide (which I copied myself copied down years ago the 200 visitors have to be there by 3 pm (the attraction closes at 5).
After trying to max out the hotel rooms, I tried to get more people to visit the pagoda area by reworking my hotel system. Almost immediately after demolishing some cockroach-riddled rooms in the lower levels, I got a display that "The Attraction will be renovated to commemorate having over 200 visitors", and that's when the Pine rating came in (year 16). The Pine Rating won't add anything but will change the look of the Attraction. The real Kegon Falls does have an elevator to take you down below but the food stalls are outside the upper level, and there's no hotel.
