World peace, health and prosperity — and a kiss from Katy Perry.

They are among the thousands of wishes scrawled on colorful slips of confetti that will flutter down on the Times Square masses when the ball drops at midnight on New Year’s Eve.

The hopes and desires have been collected online and in a kiosk at Broadway between 42nd and 43rd streets for the 11th annual Wishing Wall. The Times Square Alliance hopes to top last year’s 65,000 submissions.

Last week, The Post came across New Jersey’s Maria Altman, 44, dreaming of a “terror-free” planet for her 3-year-old daughter, Madison. She scribbled “Love 2018” on her slip.

Nancy Pierre declared, “Heart healing for Eric Pierre,” her husband with congestive heart failure.

Poland’s Alexandra Opoka, 18, a college student, hoped for “a year of self-discovery.”

But the craziest ambition of all might have been expressed by Queens native John Costello, 45, who asked that the Jets win the Super Bowl someday.

Here are some more in-with-the-new wishes:
