Yes the shadow was big but who else was in the picture? Pikachu, one of the smallest characters in the game, so the size of the shadow may seem huge compared to him

Pyrosphere also has some pretty weird lighting as seen in a pic of the day containing Mega Man and Pikachu, where Mega Man's shadow is comparable to being almost 3/4 of Ridley's shadow
