- The R&R mod transforms Sonic R from a racing game into an exploration-focused experience.
- Players have unlimited time to explore the five courses and can retire via the Pause menu.
- Character controls are adjusted for easier exploration: lower top speed, better handling, and reduced skidding.
- Finding all five Sonic tokens in a course unlocks a special character; finding a Chaos Emerald lets you keep it.
- The mod removes the requirement to finish first to keep Chaos Emeralds.
- Changes to the game's code include skipping rival races if all tokens are collected and adjusting the HUD to remove race-specific elements.
- The mod makes moving around more pleasant and allows for collecting items without rushing.
- The article provides technical details on how specific game functions were modified to achieve these changes.
