The construction of some sections of the Hokuriku Shinkansen line and the construction of those of the Konoshima route of the Kyushu Shinkansen line were started in the super-limited express method, but later, their specifications were changed to full Shinkansen ones.
また、北陸新幹線と九州新幹線鹿児島ルートの一部はスーパー特急方式で着工されたが、後にフル規格に変更された。
