I was curious, so I looked it up: Earthbound has a fairly gentle XP curve. Double XP takes you from level 33 to 40, assuming you play the same.
I haven't played Earthbound enough to remember if there's grinding, so idk if it's necessary. In general, I tend to find the existence of double XP romhacks is usually enough to indicate that I'd rather use them, based on my playstyle preferences. Someone thought it was beneficial enough to put hours of work into!
