Kinda like the finale of Super Metroid. I never understood the logic of that. The final boss rigged the whole complex to explode upon his death?

Super Metroid's what I immediately thought of, too. Though technically it's her death.

How sad is that, that I finished that game nine and a half years ago, and I remember the countdown on the escape sequence like it was yesterday.
