Since you're in the design/white wood stage of things, your recent update of having an illuminated block .... why not remove the pf insert for the stand up yellow block target, Print a new piece semi transparent white or yellow tinted and add a yellow 44/555 bulb behind it?
Code wise - use the block standup target as a multiplier? Maybe tie the target to the spinning block to signal a multiplier is active?
BTW, I've been playing with AI voicing. You could absolutely create your own custom voice call outs and not have your hands tied. For instance an early drain didn't break a score threshold and your Mario head would say, "Mama Mia! You didn't win, let's try that again!" and it serves up the ball. I posted some instructions on creating AI voices on the Harry Potter homebrew thread if you'd like to check it out. It truly is super easy to use/do.

Do you have a link to something?
Indeed some custom speech is clearly needed

I've played around with several voice actors. It's really good for some, and some others I'm just not happy with. There's just some unrepeatable voice inflection. When you make your initial audio clip ensure you use several different audio clips to help the AI add more voice inflection. And remember the actual quality of the audio file provided directly results in the quality of the file created for you.
Here's a link to some AI files I've created. I think the Funhouse ones are freaking spot on and funny as hell. The Addams family are spot on but the voice inflection Raul Julia did for the pin are just different than his voice in Addams family values and flat out unreproducible. And lastly the Harry Potter ones are pretty good as well. The difference between Harry and Hermoine are to demonstrate audio quality output differences defined by quality of source file.

I'll cut your learning curve time. Play with combination of Style Exaggeration and Stability. Keep hitting generate until you get a version you like. Lower right hand corner is an up arrow in a circle. This will bring up a menu with an option to download audio file. Sometimes it's necessary to find the correct misspelling of words to get the desired outcome. Encapsulate the word like "Feeeeewings" to force AI to try to generate. Adding quotation marks also tells AI to add emphasis. Oh, you could also force US to your native language if ya wanted
