Also from the R-type series:
R-Type Delta level 3 walker thing
R-Type Final level 3 battleship
both of these took the entire level to get around.
The level 2 mid-boss, level 4 mid-boss and level 5 final boss from Xenon 2 were 2-3 screens high each.
Gradius V's walker near the end of the game is another.

Some that come to mind:
-Twin Eagle's Carrier!
-Project 4 in Area 88/U.N. Squadron
-Raimei (Stage 2 boss) in 19XX
-Stage 3 (?) boss in Raystorm
-Shienryu's true last boss. (you have to scale out to see the whole bullet pattern!)
-D.A.S. in In The Hunt (You'd think it never ends)

Ehr? The final boss in Nexzr is a mech not that much bigger than your own ship. One of my favourite bossfights, though.rolins wrote:Nexzr: final boss
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

One of the stages in Thunder Cross (1 I think) is a single ship that launches a few enemies at you. Huge. It's not terribly dynamic, though.
Also, man, that mother%&*( at the end of King of the Monsters 2. Yeah, yeah, it's not a shump, and it's not multiple screens wide, but damn, when somebody says "huge" it springs right into my mind, especially considering this is a scrolling beat-em-up.
