Minecraft is at least easier to imagine, since it does have bosses. With Animal Crossing is it just paying off all loans and getting the statue? And is time manipulation allowed?

I found the speedrun page, looks like it’s mostly paying off debts or collecting special items www.speedrun.com/acnh

For this specific HN post, speedrunning is a bit of a misnomer. He used similar tooling to effectively add support for a physical keyboard and additionally a bunch of keyboard shortcuts that are capable of inputting custom text, songs, and fabric patterns.
There’s a YouTube video where the author showcases this. It’s pretty short and a really interesting watch: youtu.be/Yw8Alf_lolA
