Norway is part of the Schengen zone.
Penalities can include a substantial fine and getting black-listed for all Schengen countries.
Exceptions apply for emergencies (overstay due to hospitalization or similar).
I would rather not risk it.

Norway is a Schengen member, it's not a European Union member. One has nothing to do with the other.
Not a good idea to overstay any tourist/business visa. If your nationality requires a Schengen visa then you can't just leave on a day trip to non-Shengen country and return. You must re-apply for a new visa in your home country.
If you do not require a visa then to extend your stay legally do a day trip to a non-Schengen member country.
Either way, it's better to do it and stay "legal".

"<i>to extend your stay legally do a day trip to a non-Schengen member country.</i>" Absolutely not true.
And "<i>It's a total of 3 months in a 6 month period. Three months in Schengen, three out.</i>" applies to those who don't need a visa.
mysanmia: your best bet is to not overstay. The penalty could be nothing to quite severe. And none of us will be w/ you when facing that immigration officer in Norway - what we tell you won't help one way or the other . . . . .

I don;t think it's an issue of how much?
I think if they find you have overstayed without a very significant reason (illness or similar) they deport you summarily. Then your name goes on a black list and you may have trouble re-entering any country in the Schengen zone.
