lol well we do in a way. We are the Spanish-speaking country that's less in contact with foreign languages, that's why Mexican and all the originally Spanish-speaking cultures have developed their own dialect and sound kinda different nowadays and there's also a great deal more slang usage due to its contact with English. But I meant formal as in the way the pronouns are used. In Spain we say:
¿Cómo estás?, notice the S that makes it informal; in South America they'll say:
¿Cómo está?, and use the pronoun "usted" instead of "you"; we only do that when we're speaking in a high level of formality.
