	~~{{DISPLAYTITLE:~~Shaders}}		'''''Shaders''''' in [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)]] are compiled GPU programs that control the appearance of objects and effects. Most shaders have several different variants with different feature support. Multiplayer shaders may have additional optimisations, like replacing real-time planar reflections with cubemaps.
