* ''[[Metroid]] Fusion'' has several of the collapsing door/inaccessible wall variety, and the convenient exits largely involve Samus breaching security and angering her Federation clients.

** The ''[[Metroid]]'' series may be king {{spoiler|(er, queen)}} of this trope. There are few if no games where Samus ends up calmly walking back to her ship; there's always a [[Earthshattering Kaboom|time bomb]] that goes off [[Load-Bearing Boss|once the last boss has been thrashed]] and the exit path is always clear to navigate despite the common falling debris.

* In the MMO ''[[City of Heroes]]'', the last mission of the "Hess Task Force" is set inside a volcano with a [[Load-Bearing Boss]]. There is an emergency exit that leads out, and 30 seconds to take it after the boss goes down. This is generally more than enough, unless a player gets lost or stuck.

And with the later addition of powers like the Pocket D VIP teleport and the Ouroboros portal, it became possible to exist the mission without having to run for the door at all.
* ''[[Guild Wars]]'' has a couple in ''Prophecies'', both also [[Get on the Boat]] moments. In the Sanctum Cay mission, your character's original boat off the island is captured, but conveniently, there is a powerful mage on the island to [[Summon Magic|summon]] [[Deus Ex Machina|another one]]. In the [[Planet Heck|Hell's Precipice]] mission, your characters escape an erupting volcano by running to a boat that is conveniently available at an empty enemy dock.

* In the original ''[[Tomb Raider]]'' (and the ''Tomb Raider Anniversary'' remake), after Lara destroys the Scion, the Atlantean pyramid starts to collapse all around her. A conveniently-intact exit allows Lara to flee to safety {{spoiler|and confront [[True Final Boss|antagonist Natla]].}}
