Spanish (Castilian) from Spain is to Spanish what British English is to English. Mexican Spanish is to the Castilian language what American English is to the English language. A Mexican can have a conversation with a Spaniard with minor difficulties An American can have a conversation with a Brit with minor difficulties.

With the exception of Argentinian Spanish whose pronunciation and grammatical use is unique, Spanish spoken in the Americas is similar with local pronunciation differences and other minor quirks. People may disagree with me, but I think that well-spoken Mexican Spanish is the unofficial standard Spanish of the Americas (minus the Spanish of Argentina and Uruguay).

A friend of mine from Peru said that Mexican media (the movies in particular) have an influence on the way people speak in Peru. That's why I think Mexican Spanish creates a norm.
